Roller rink advertisements in The Toronto Star, January 23, 1907
Description
Newspaper ads for the Riverdale, Parkdale,
and Granite roller rinks. For Black people,
racial segregation restricted access to
housing, education, businesses, unions,
transportation, theatres, bars, restaurants,
and hotels, among other aspects of daily
life. These restrictions were often enforced
based on appearance. In court, Armistead
Taylor suggested Arthur and Lydia were
initially permitted into the rink because they
were mistaken for being white.
