Yes, they are. There are people in the community who recognize that. Again, I can only talk from the black community's experiences. In terms of culture, other than the kinds of events that come from groups like Playmas or our youth hip-hop groups, dance groups, steelpan, etc., one thing we can't or don't promote, because we're unable to, is black heritage in Canada, because it's not recognized at all.
