Progressive civic spirit… before women got the vote, collective bargaining was invented or civil rights were dreamt up – colonialism was still going strong, and homebuilders could slap a clause on a new west-end subdivision such as: “None of the lands described… shall be used, occupied by or let or sold to Negroes, Asiatics, Burlgarians, Austrians, Russians, Serbs, Rumanians, Turks, Armenians, whether British subjects or not, or foreign-born Italians, Greeks or Jews.”
It's nice seeing some video of this time period in Hamilton. It goes along nicely with the pictures I've seen. What would it take to get a short documentary about the city made? That would be great!
I wish Hamilton would shape up and hope the splendor is restored. We need to get those councillors out of office.
