Assignment #6 Black history month



Lincoln MacCauley Alexander was born in January 21, 1922 and immigrated to Canada. I chose to write about him because of all the things he accomplished in the past that were outstanding although he is still alive today. He began his career when he graduated from Oswood Hall Law School in Toronto and then distinguished himself by serving in World War II as a pilot for the Royal Canadian Air Force. After the war was over, Alexander became nominated as the first member of parliament when he was elected as member of the Progressive Conservative of Canada, which was a pretty big deal. He also served as a observer under the United Nations Between 1976-1978. Alexander also was a minister of labour, when Joe Clark was prime minister in 1979-1980. He resigned his seat in 1980 to serve as chairman of the Worker's Compensation Board. Lincoln the became the 24th Lieutenant Governer of Ontario. When he left office in 1991, he was awarded the "Order of Ontario," and the "Order of Canada." MacCauley was then named chairman of Canadian Race Relations Foundation in 2000. He is still a spokesman for them, as well as the Honorary Patron of Hamilton and also the Honorary Chief of the Hamilton police. In just 1 life, this man accomplished so many things that some people would take them at least probably 2 lives to do and yes, I am talking about myself.
