Negroes in Canada

A discussion of the history & characteristics of the Canadian Negro pop. According to census reports there was a decrease in the Canadian Negro pop from 22,000 in 1941, to 18,000 in 1951. 6 'classes' of Negroes can be distinguished in Montreal: (1) 'avowed' Negroes residing in a run-down area known as the 'Negro district' though the pop is predominantly white; (2) new arrivals from the Carribean Islands; (3) an indeterminate number of non-confessing Negroes scattered through various districts; (4) foreign S's; (5) avowed Negroes in satisfactory econ strata outside the Negro district; & (6) amateur & professional athletes imported from the US by entrepeneurs. Descriptions of several PO attitude surveys re discriminatory real estate racial att's are given, & several historical case histories illustrating the SE assimilation of Negroes in Canadian history are presented.
