The controversial plan to replace the Georgia and Dunsmuir Viaducts has been fiercely opposed by those who fear increased traffic congested and blocked residential views. However, the plan is being applauded by advocates who remember Vancouver's former black community; the heart of which was destroyed by the creation of the viaducts, nearly 50 years ago.
In this two part series, Niki Reitmayer will explore the history of Vancouver's black community that centred around a neighbourhood known as Hogan's Alley. The musical history of this neighbourhood may surprise you - among the famous faces regularly seen there included Louis Armstrong and Jimi Hendrix. In Part Two, Niki will examine how the City of Vancouver is trying to make amends with the black community by rebuilding what was lost through racially targeted urban renewal programs, such as the viaducts.
