Show detail Hide detail

Harewood, John, 1936- : John Harewood was born in Barbados and educated in St. Michael's, before coming to Canada in 1958. He studied classics at the University of Toronto (Trinity College), then went to Hopedale, Labrador, in 1961 where he worked as principal of the community school. He returned to Toronto in 1963, to do graduate work. In 1966 he moved to Ottawa, where he was visiting lecturer and later assistant professor at the University of Ottawa.

He joined the National Black Coalition of Canada (NBCC) in 1970, and in 1976 and 1978-1979 respectively, chaired and participated in committees which re-structured the organization. For nine years he wrote a column for Contrast, a black community newspaper in Toronto between the 1960s and 1980s, where he developed an expertise in the affairs of both Contrast and the NBCC. In 1982 he was a founder of the Ottawa chapter of the NBCC. He has written on Blacks in Canada, taught part-time at Algonquin College and done the occasional briefing at C.I.D.A.
