  • Revised Condolence Motion Final Leonard Braithwaite.Docx
    CONDOLENCE MOTION Moved by: Councillor Michael Thompson Seconded by: Mayor Rob Ford The Mayor and Members of Toronto City Council are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Leonard Braithwaite on March 28, 2012, at the age of 88. Born in Toronto in 1923, Mr. Braithwaite led a trailblazing life as a Royal Canadian Air Force veteran, Harvard business school graduate, lawyer and respected parliamentarian. Following his military service in WWII, he returned to school, earning a commerce and finance degree at the University of Toronto and an MBA at Harvard, rare in that era for a Canadian of African descent. Enrolling at Osgoode Hall in 1953, he was elected class president in his first year and president of the student body in his fourth, receiving the prestigious Gold Key for leadership upon graduation. After establishing a small law practice in Etobicoke, Mr. Braithwaite was elected School Trustee in 1960 and Alderman two years later. In 1963, he became Ontario’s, and Canada’s, first Black parliamentarian when he won a seat in the Ontario legislature, a seat he would hold for three terms. In 1975, he returned to municipal politics, earning a seat on Etobicoke’s Board of Control, and continued to practice law. Mr. Braithwaite was a member of the Order of Ontario and the Order of Canada, and he was the first Black bencher of the Law Society of Upper Canada. Leonard Braithwaite’s achievements are legion. Regarded as a mentor by many and respected for his intelligence, quiet perseverance and dignity by all, he leaves an indelible mark on the City, Province and people that he loved and served.

  • The History of Blacks in the Law Society of Upper Canada"
    "The History of Blacks in the Law Society of Upper Canada" Law Society of Upper Canada Gazette, Volume XXIV, Number 1, March 1990, pp. 65-70. In few areas has the universal struggle for equality by Black people been more pronounced than in the legal profession. The following short essay, in recognition of the many accomplishments of Black lawyers in the Law Society of Upper Canada, will illuminate this relatively shrouded area of history. The first Black called to the Bar of Upper Canada was Delos Rogest Davis in 1885. Born in 1846 in Maryland, he arrived in Canada in 1850 with his parents. A resident of Amherstberg, which had been a terminus on the Underground Railroad, he was one of the leading Black citizens of the community. His achievement however, was not accomplished without strenuous effort. For years he had attempted to become an articling student without success. Finally, in frustration, Delos Davis petitioned the Ontario Legislature to be granted special permission to be called to the bar without the necessary period of articles of clerkship. The petition of March 25, 1884, cites, in part: … that ever since the year one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, and from before that lime he has endeavoured and has been anxious to enter the profession of the law; that in consequence of prejudices against his colour and because of his being of African descent he has not articled to any attorney or solicitor, or served any articles... It continues by explaining that for eleven years Delos Davis had studied law and had practised as fully as he could without being a solicitor.

  • RBC BHM ESSAY Davis Legree Brooklin High School, Brooklin, ON
    RBC BHM ESSAY Davis Legree Brooklin High School, Brooklin, ON $500 Winner Today’s young people can take away an incredible amount, from the lives and experiences of black Canadians, over the past 150 years. However, the most prominent concept that one could attain from said experiences, would be the mantra of never giving up, regardless of what obstacles or challenges lay ahead. There are countless of instances where a black Canadian was put up against a challenge so significant, so overwhelming, but many never gave in, and ended up successful. Many Canadians, and young people, are familiar with the lives of black Canadian heroes like Harriet Tubman, and Mary Ann Shad, but one must also take a look at the unheralded black Canadians, who’s stories, although less well-known, are just as significant. Take Colchester, Ontario’s Elijah McCoy, for example. McCoy was 14 when he went to Scotland to work as an mechanical engineering apprentice, and he returned as a certified mechanical engineer. However, despite McCoy’s large amounts of training, and impressive qualifications, he was unable to obtain a job because of a policy that did not allow African-Canadians to work skilled jobs. After taking a job as a fireman, and oiler at a railroad, McCoy began to invent objects that would not only differ from current train travel, but vastly improve it. McCoy was, posthumously, rewarded for his success in 2001, when he was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame. McCoy perfectly embodies the spirit of black Canadians over the past one and a half centuries, that even when an entire nation says that you are not fit to do something, that does not mean you should give up and stop trying, because if Elijah McCoy had done the aforementioned, then the world would have lost one it’s greatest inventors of all time, because he was black.
