Montreal citizens strike a blow against gentrification with Parc Madeleine-Parent

Photo: Andrée Lévesque

Trade unionist, feminist, independentist, pacifist, Madeleine Parent has her park thanks to the determination of the citizens of a working-class district where, in 1943, she started her career as a union organizer at Merchant Cotton (Dominion Textile).
