I have never considered myself a history buff. In fact, I found history painfully boring in high school. It was a struggle just to stay focused, let alone feel engaged enough to participate. Maybe that had something to do with the teacher. Or maybe it was my own lack of attention. Or perhaps I simply saw the subject as irrelevant to my life at the time.

An extensive collection of more than 2,600 political cartoons by well-known social commentator Mike Graston has been donated to the University of Windsor’s Archives and Special Collections housed in Leddy Library.
Graston, whose regular contributions to the editorial pages of the Windsor Star spanned three and half decades, presented a unique look at local, provincial, national, and international events and the individuals who shaped them.
