KNOWBC: The blog of the Encyclopedia of BC




My first post as a guest blogger is now up on KNOWBC.

It is about JD's Black roots. Most images do not show his skin colour. The only picture of him to do so was painted long after his death and hangs in Government House in Victoria. All the images of JD from his lifetime play down his Black heritage. Do you know why?

Visit www.knowbc.blogspot.com to see the post. While you're there, take a moment to browse the blog as there are many fascinating vignettes of BC history to read.
