Black Canadians at Queens Park (detail)

Close-up of a group of mostly black Canadians poses with Premier Ernest C. Drury and Sir Henry Pellatt on the steps of the Ontario Legislature in Toronto.

The plaque was (and is) in the main hall of Queen's Park. Rev. Mrs. H.F. Logan and Rev. H.F. Logan, who spearheaded the campaign for the plaque, are at left of centre. Also included in the photograph is Rt. Rev. Samuel R. Drake, General Superintendent of the British Methodist Episcopal Conference .
