Freedom, Opportunity and Family: Oakville’s Black History Exhibit at Oakville Museum
Poster reads: “James Albert Johnson, born and raised in Oakville, in 1908 became the first and only Canadian Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church serving for 20 years. His success was due in part to his early education in Oakville, at a time when such an education would have been difficult for an African-American to obtain in the United States.”
