City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1y3jkdp The Provincial Freeman, a black newspaper founded by Samuel R. Ward in the 1850s in Windsor, and its predecessor, "Voice of the Fugitive", did more than provide resources for Blacks, often fugitive slaves, new to Canada in the mid-1800s. In their editorials and articles, these papers clearly advocate a lifestyle that would enable these new Canadians to integrate and demonstrate how Blacks in Canada could be an asset to their communities, rather than chattel as they were considered in the United States.
