新的加拿大皇家造币厂纪念霍根巷失落的社区

随着黑人历史月的开始，斯特拉斯科纳（Strathcona）的小型西南角因其为1900年代初到1960年代的黑人社区提供的空间而得到认可。

As Black History Month begins, a small, southwestern corner of Strathcona is being recognized for the space it gave the Black community from the early 1900s up until the 1960s.

随着黑人历史月的开始，从1900年代初到1960年代，它为黑人社区提供的空间而被认可了Strathcona的一个小小的西南角。

Hogan’s Alley, an unofficial name for the Park Lane alley running from Main Street to Jackson Avenue, was a strip where Black businesses, families and the city’s only Black church thrived. Earlier this month, the Royal Canadian Mint announced it would be paying tribute to the lost neighbourhood with a new, silver collectors coin depicting a number of iconic Hogan’s Alley figures.

霍根（Hogan）的小巷（Hogan's Alley）是从大街到杰克逊大道（Jackson Avenue）跑步的公园巷巷（Park Lane Alley）的一个非正式名称，是一个地带，黑人企业，家庭和城市唯一的黑人教堂蓬勃发展。本月初，加拿大皇家造币厂宣布，将向失落的社区致敬，其中一枚新的银收藏家硬币描绘了许多标志性的霍根（Hogan）的小巷。

Among them, a cook from one of the famed women-owned chicken restaurants, a choir in a nod to the African Methodist Episcopal Fountain Chapel, a Black railway sleeping car porter, two dancers and a pianist, a saxophonist and a singer, representing the nightclubs’ and speakeasies’ vibrant conveyor belt of musicians.

其中，来自一家著名的妇女鸡肉餐厅的厨师，一个向非洲卫理公会主教喷泉教堂致敬的合唱团，一辆黑色的铁路卧铺车搬运工，两名舞者和一名钢琴家，一名萨克斯风格和一名歌手，代表了一名歌手夜总会和演讲的音乐家传送带。

The members of the community surround an engraved Pacific Dogwood, B.C.’s provincial flower.

社区的成员围绕着刻有不列颠哥伦比亚省省花的雕刻太平洋山茱wood。

The collectors coin, retailing at $119.95 and with a mintage of 5,000, illustrates the “spirit and vitality” of Hogan’s Alley, says the Royal Canadian Mint’s Pascale Poulin.

皇家加拿大皇家造币厂的Pascale Poulin说，收藏家硬币的零售价为119.95美元，铸币量为5,000美元，说明了霍根（Hogan）小巷的“精神和活力”。

“Hogan’s Alley is an inspiring and important part of Black history in Canada,” says Poulin.

Poulin说：“霍根的小巷是加拿大黑人历史的鼓舞人心和重要的一部分。”

“We hope that our coin will help preserve their memory and help people living across the country understand the history of Black settlement in Canada, and its role in shaping our country’s diverse and shared identity.”

“我们希望我们的硬币将有助于保留他们的记忆，并帮助生活在全国各地的人们了解加拿大黑人定居的历史，及其在塑造我们国家多样化和共同身份方面的作用。”

In the 1960s, the majority of Vancouver’s original Black community was displaced when the City of Vancouver issued housing redevelopment plans, bulldozing Hogan’s Alley to make way for the Vancouver viaducts.

1960年代，当温哥华市发布住房重建计划时，温哥华的大部分原始黑人社区都流离失所，推开了霍根（Hogan）的小巷，为温哥华高架桥（Vancouver）铺路。

Director Jamila Pomeroy, whose 2023 film Union Street centres on the neighbourhood’s history, says Vancouver’s Black community continues to feel the effects of this displacement through the city’s lack of cultural community space and continued, centralized Black community.

导演贾米拉·波默罗伊（Jamila Pomeroy）的2023年电影联合街（Union Street）以该社区历史为中心，他说，温哥华的黑人社区继续感受到这种流离失所的影响，这是该市缺乏文化社区空间和继续，集中的黑人社区的影响。

“There is, sadly, no resurrecting Hogan’s Alley,” she says.

她说：“可悲的是，没有复活霍根的小巷。”

“There is nothing that is going to bring back the business and artists, and there is certainly no easy fix to repairing the multigenerational trauma and financial turmoil this cultural erasure and displacement caused, and continues to radiate to this day,” she says.

她说：“没有什么能带回商业和艺术家，并且可以修复这种文化擦除和流离失所的造成的多代创伤和金融动荡肯定没有问题，”

The lost community can, however, have its legacy honoured by future city planning that authentically co-creates with the Black community, and by acknowledgments such as the one by the Royal Canadian Mint. Pomeroy says Hogan’s Alley being recognized via the coin makes her feel hopeful — we might not be able to change the past, she says, but “we can and will create a bright future for Black Vancouverites.”

但是，失落的社区可以通过与黑人社区的真实共同创建以及诸如皇家加拿大皇家造币厂之类的认可，以实现未来的城市规划来尊重其遗产。 Pomeroy说，霍根（Hogan）的小巷通过硬币认可，使她感到有希望 - 我们可能无法改变过去，但“我们可以并且将为黑色温哥华人创造一个光明的未来。”

“B.C. Black history has (been), and continues to be, excluded from broader historical conversations in our schools, universities and institutions, and I hope that this coin will encourage more conversation and trigger deeper learning,” Pomeroy says.

Pomeroy说：“卑诗省黑人历史已经并且继续被排除在我们的学校，大学和机构的更广泛的历史对话之外，我希望这种硬币会鼓励更多的对话并触发更深入的学习。”

The coin marks the seventh the Canadian Mint has issued since it first began honouring Black History Month in 2019.

硬币标志着加拿大造币厂首次开始纪念2019年黑人历史月以来发行的第七枚。

The ongoing series celebrates the notable moments and figures in Canada’s Black history and their role in shaping Canada’s shared national identity, with previous acknowledgements given to activist and businesswoman Viola Desmond, and the NHL’s first Black player Willie O’Ree.

正在进行的系列赛庆祝加拿大黑人历史上的著名时刻和数字及其在塑造加拿大共同的民族身份中的作用，以前给予了激进主义者和女商人Viola Desmond的认可，以及NHL的第一个黑人球员Willie O'Ree。

Edmonton’s Amber Valley community has also featured, alongside designs that honour The Black Loyalists, The Underground Railroad, and the No. 2 Construction Battalion.

埃德蒙顿（Edmonton）的琥珀谷社区（Amber Valley Community）还展示了纪念黑人忠诚主义者，地下铁路和第二大营的设计。
