Description

Le Faubourg a m'lasse: the origins of an urban legend called Molasses Town 1800-1963
It was told that during hauling barrels of molasses, the women of the neighborhood went on the docks with small containers.
At the end of the transfer on the platform of the cargo of molasses, crane operator voluntarily dropped the last barrel, for clumsiness, and women gathered molasses in their little containers to take home.
Between 1960 and 1963 six thousand of the poorest people were evicted from this suburb and all their homes demolished.
This is a depiction of daily life in the hood.

Les origines d'une legende urbaine appelee le Faubourg a m'lasse -1800-1963
Lors du debardage des barils de melasse, les femmes du quartier se rendaient sur les quais avec de petits contenants.
A la fin du transfert sur le quai de la cargaison de melasse, l operateur de la grue laissait volontairement tomber le dernier baril, comme par maladresse,
et les femmes recueillaient la melasse dans leurs petits contenants pour la rapporter a la maison.
Entre 1960 et 1963, six mille personnes les plus pauvres ont ete expulses de ce quartier et toutes leurs maisons demolies.
Il s'agit d'une representation de la vie quotidienne dans le quartier.
