“Once upon a time was a ‘wery’ nice time; monkey chew tobacco and spit out lime.”
So once upon a time there was the Caribbean Homegoing Booklet, a funeral booklet perhaps like no other, an unlikely genealogical ‘talking piece’, chock-rich in legacy information.

It’s the first day of the month and, as promised, the launch of “61”.
Welcome to the initial set of 61 archival items, in observance of the 61 years of UWindsor’s existence!
Each and every record tells a story or has a narrative, and we do love a sweet story, so sit back, relax, and here we go.

What are the contents of the box, you ask? Well, they tell the story of one man who made big waves in the legal community of Windsor-Essex and of Canada. Let me share his story with you.
