Original flyer for J. B. Salsberg who emigrated to Canada in 1913. Through hard work and dedication Mr. Salsberg not only made his mark on Toronto politics but all of Canada. "Salsberg was a popular MPP inside and outside the house and was respected by members of all parties. He was instrumental in the introduction of the Racial Discrimination Act, 1944 which he proposed as a result of posted notices banning Jews and Blacks from various swimming pools in Toronto and as a result of other cases of anti-Semitism and racism in the province. The law was one of the foundations that led to the eventual passage of the Ontario Human Rights Code." Wikepedia. Scarce.
