JB's Warehouse & Curio Emporium

  Winding down my Black History Month coverage for TVO for this year with the tale of one of the most controversial exhibits the Royal Ontario Museum ever mounted ...and how it became a textbook example of how not to mount such an exhibit.

  Toronto Star, January 2, 1971. For Spacing , I revisit a piece focusing on a January 1971 Toronto Star feature where local politicians and dignitaries were asked for their visions on how to make Toronto a more pleasant place to live . 

  Toronto Star, May 25, 1959. Kicking off my Black History Month coverage with a look at what happened when an interracial group of teens from Toronto travelled to Buffalo to appear on a TV dance show and ran into prejudice provoked by a few angry viewers .  EXTRA! How bad was the coverage of the incident in Buffalo's two major dailies? The Buffalo Evening News ran a wire report buried on page 17!

  Ottawa Citizen, February 16, 1934. To mark this weekend's NHL All-Star Game, for TVO I journey back 90 years to the first gathering of the league's top players, which was held as a benefit for injured Toronto Maple Leafs star Ace Bailey.
