Amongst its many findings, the MCESSP study reveals serious underreporting of the number of Black persons in Canada. It debunks stereotypes and myths about Black persons -- particularly in the area of education, employment and dependency on government assistance. The study also examines the impact of immigration on Black communities in Canada, and the deleterious effect of past Canadian immigration policy on the family structure of Black communities in Canada. It provides an in-depth portrait of Black husband-wife families, single-parent families, and biracial families. The data also examines employment integration of Blacks in various occupations in Canada and compares the earning capacity of Blacks with the total Canadian population. Lastly, the study examines poverty among Blacks in Canada in general, and child poverty in particular.
Two pre-eminent Black opinion makers will respond to the MCESSP study: Dean Juanita Westmoreland-Traor茅 and Professor Jewelle Taylor Gibbs. Head of the Quebec Commission for Cultural Communities in the 1980s, Professor Westmoreland -Traor茅 is currently Dean of the University of Windsor Faculty of Law. Professor Taylor Gibbs holds the Zellerbach Family Fund Chair of Social Policy at the School of Social Welfare of the University of California at Berkeley. She is the author of Children of Color, Race and Justice, as well as the editor of Young, Black and Male in North America: An Endangered Species.
