Legacy Week to Honour Black History and Bring Community Together at NCC

“Negro Community Centre” will host free events, exhibits, and storytelling to celebrate its past and future.
Montreal, QC – April 3, 2025

The Negro Community Centre (NCC) is happy to invite everyone to “Legacy Week,” a new event series happening June 6 -11, 2025. The event will take place at the centre’s original location in Little Burgundy and celebrate the rich Black history of Montreal through workshops, guest talks, arts and storytellings.

The Legacy Week will start on Tuesday, June 6 with an exhibit of rare photos and stories from the community. During the week there will be guest speakers from local universities, workshops on Black history in Montreal, and a youth storytelling night on Friday, where teenagers will share how the centre shaped their lives.

Legacy Week will end on Sunday, June 11 with a community meal where everyone can bring food to share, followed by live music from local performers. Organizers hope this event brings together all generations to share stories and build new memories.

The event is free and open to everyone. All talks and workshops will be in English and French. NCC volunteers will be on-site to help, and the centre is wheelchair accessible.
“The Negro Community Centre” (NCC) was a cultural and social space that served the Black community of Little Burgundy for over 70 years. Today, the legacy of the NCC continues through events, education, and support for youth and families in Montreal.
