The Quiet Revolution in the parade
Here we are at the Saint-Jean-Baptiste parade in Québec City in the mid-1960s! During the Quiet Revolution, a majority of Quebec’s French-speaking population rejected the authority of the Catholic Church. The float refers to the Parent Report, a government report announcing the creation of the Ministry of Education to replace clerical control of education.
