Historian Mary Rauton
Held in 2003, the Baldwin Street Reunion brought former neighbours together for the first time in twenty-five years or more.
Mary Rauton arrived in Canada from the United States in 1968. In addition to the sounds of the reunion in full swing, Mary recounts her old neighbourhood, Baldwin Street.
La Baldwin Street Reunion, qui eut lieu en 1993, a réuni d’anciens voisins qui ne s’étaient pas vus depuis 25 ans. Mary Rauton a quitté les États-Unis pour s’installer au Canada en 1968. Au son de la fête, Mary raconte les histoires de son ancien quartier.

“I just want to celebrate people, not races.

“Being with all people allows me to know people as people.

“I love the diversity of color. We all cry. We all rejoice. We have family ties, regrets, disappointments and joy.”
