This piece explores racial tensions, student activism, Montreal Black history through the music of the era, through documentation of the event, personal connection and historic legacy .

Khalid M'Seffar, host of Funky Revolutions is conducting the interview and he is speaking to Marshal Allen, Michael Ray and Ray Scott.
