Sticking with Concordia historians in the media, please tune in to CBC Radio One this Tuesday evening 24 April at 9:00. The latest CBC Ideas radio documentary is scheduled to air at that time, and will feature our colleague Steven High

Here is a summary of the program from the CBC Ideas website (http://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas): Tuesday, April 24 - ON THE MOVE FROM MONTREAL. 

As part of ongoing IDEAS coverage of work-related mobility issues throughout Canada and around the world, Paul Kennedy profiles the Montreal neighbourhood of "Little Burgundy". For much of the 20th century, this vibrant, overwhelmingly black community was "home" to many of the railroad porters who worked on coast-to-coast trains for both Canadian National and Canadian Pacific. By definition, their job description required them to be "away from home" for two weeks at a time.
