How a Brantford, Ont., group uncovered history of 'trailblazing' Black woman who attended university in 1885
When they began searching for Black history in Brantford, Ont., a group of community organizers say they had no idea they'd come across someone as notable as Blanche E. Williams. After attending high school in Brantford in the 1880s, Williams became the first Black woman to attend the University of Toronto with the same privileges, including attending the same lectures, as white students, said Amanda Mersereau, director of Unite Against Hate, an anti-racism community group. "In the late 1800s, this was unheard of," said Mersereau in an interview. "This is a trailblazing individual." Now that accomplishment is being recognized by the City of Brantford and Grand Erie District School Board (GEDSB), which will name a new community centre, park and school after Williams. Mersereau said the decision is a "step in the right direction." "We're continuing her legacy and shining a light where it wasn't being shone," Mersereau said. Unite Against Hate member Angel Panag nominated Williams in a public naming processes. When the city and GEDSB learned what United Against Hate had uncovered, they decided to act. "With education as the path to transformation, Blanche Williams interrupted racial barriers and showed us what's possible," said Liana Thomposn, a GEDSB superintendent in an April news release. "Naming our school after her is a celebration not only of her groundbreaking achievements, but her story inspires all of us to be courageous, strong and to persevere to achieve our dreams." 'I feel proud of her' Mersereau co-founded Unite Against Hate in 2020, promoting Brantford's Black-owned businesses and then highlighting Black history in the city and developing anti-racism education. Local historian Sarah Clarke joined the effort to find and make Black history more accessible. When digging through newspaper archives, she came across an 1885 Globe and Mail story about Williams. "Miss Blanche Williams, of Brantford, will have every right which her acquirements and Canadian citizenship fully entitle her to claim," said the article. "The only other [Black ladies] of our provincial university were two sisters ... but were not allowed by regulations then in force to attend lectures," said the newspaper, including that the sisters were from Chatham, Ont., and had the last name Jones. It's unclear why Williams was allowed to attend lectures when the sisters weren't a few years before. Clarke looked through census records, directories, historic maps, baptismal logs and archives from the University of Toronto to find out more about Williams. She also found an article about Williams's accomplishment in the the Huntsville Gazette in Alabama. Before attending the University of Toronto, Williams graduated from what's now called the Brantford College Institute and Vocational School in Brantford. She attended First Baptist Church with her parents Charles and Josephine and was baptized there in 1870. Her father worked as a barber at what was then a Brantford landmark, the Kerby House Hotel. In 1886, he and his wife moved to Toronto and he worked at the Palmer House hotel that was located at the corner of York and King streets. That year, at university, Williams passed math, history, geography, classics and English. "She did quite well, especially considering all the prejudice she must have faced during that time," said Mersereau. "I feel proud of her. I feel like we know her." The group doesn't know what happened to the Williams family after 1886 and hasn't found any photographs of them, or descendents, but they hope as word spreads about her, other historians will join the effort.

50 years later, this Quebec advocacy group is still helping anglophones thrive
Beyond the beehives and a grove of trees on Lynden Bechervaise's property sits the office of a regional organization that's become a familiar name on Quebec's Gaspé peninsula. The Committee for Anglophone Social Action (CASA), founded in 1975 and rooted in New Carlisle, Que., was the first association in Quebec to serve and represent a minority English-speaking community. Now, it's celebrating 50 years. "Holy Hannah, we started something pretty small," said CASA founder Bechervaise, 84. "It's really taken off." The non-profit organization has ballooned since its founding, representing people along the southern coast of the Gaspé Peninsula, from Matapedia to Port-Daniel–Gascons. A lifelong resident of New Carlisle, Bechervaise remembers a time when many in his region felt less connected. For years, he says anglophones living in the Gaspé had few services in English, especially social services. CASA helped fill that gap. Fifty years after its creation, it's become a model for other organizations that serve English-speaking communities in regions across Quebec. A region cut off from local news It was at a budget meeting of the Gaspesian Cultural Association where Bechervaise, who was working for the regional school board, first planted the seeds for what would become CASA. During a coffee break, Bechervaise approached Bernard St-Laurent, a former CBC journalist and the association's co-ordinator at the time, about getting involved in a new project — a newspaper focused on the needs of the English community. "I said, 'Yeah, absolutely.' And that's essentially how it got started," said St-Laurent, recalling the conversation. The local English weekly newspaper was called the Gaspé Spec, which is still in circulation. At the time, if people wanted news in English, Berchervaise says they relied on radio from New Brunswick. "I felt that we needed to do more," he said. "We had to create a community between Matapedia and Gaspé." St-Laurent says this newspaper was a priority given the political climate and how the region was cut off from local news. "We were in the middle of one of what would come to be called the language wars," said St-Laurent. The Robert Bourassa government had passed Bill 22 in 1974, making French the official language in Quebec and determining who was eligible to attend English schools. "There was social change coming to the province and we felt it was important to find a way to make this information accessible to them," said St-Laurent. "Our thinking was that the newspaper could help." Once the Gaspé Spec was up and running, Bechervaise wanted to do even more to help his community. He stepped back from the newspaper and put his efforts into developing CASA. ' They didn't create a need, they answered the question' Over five decades, the non-profit has developed programs relating to health and social services, culture, youth and community development. It introduced seniors' wellness centres, employability programs, literacy courses and heritage initiatives. Bechervaise doesn't take credit for the programs or for CASA's longevity. "It wasn't me," he said. "It was the animators, the people." But the team didn't keep the model of the programs to themselves. Twenty-three networks of community organizations in the province have implemented CASA's early childhood development program called Bright Beginnings, says Jennifer Johnson, the executive director of the Community Health and Social Services Network, based in Quebec City. She said CASA's seniors' wellness centres' program has also had significant success, with more than 120 locations across the province — including 10 in Montreal. Johnson says the organization's greatest legacy is how well CASA staff understand the people they serve. "They have been a leader in terms of developing programming that actually has an impact on groups of vulnerable people," she said. CASA inspired a new generation of organizations across Quebec who serve anglophones after another advocacy group, Alliance Quebec, and its regional chapters closed in 2005. Sharleen Sullivan, the executive director of Neighbours Abitibi -Témiscamingue, one of those groups, says CASA taught her to meet people where they're at. "The people bought into it — they weren't telling the members or the community what they needed. The community told them," she said.
