| Canada Lee, (March 3, 1907 — May 9, 1952) was an American actor who pioneered roles for African Americans. A champion of civil rights in the 1930s and 1940s, he died shortly before he was scheduled to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee. (Lee has signed and inscribed this fine sepia toned photograph, stamped on verso, "A. Steiner Photographer...." "To my sister Helen Martin From her brother 'Bigger' Canada Lee.") |
The 1920s - 1940s are most interesting to me. There was the Roaring Twenties, Black Thursday, the Depression, Volstead Act, Women's History; the list goes on and on. I also find the Gregorian, Victorian, Edwardian era interesting as well. I hope you enjoy your visit!
