“Wow, he packed a lot into those 85 years.”
George Elliott Clarke worked for Howard McCurdy during his time as an MP representing the Windsor area.
Clarke was McCurdy’s constituency and media relations liaison.
Now, he’s an English professor at the University of Toronto, and was asked by McCurdy to edit his autobiography before his death in 2018.
“He really broke all the stereotypes about Black people, Black Canadians,” said Clarke.
“He’s a guy with a microscope, as much as he is a guy who is able to handle the microphone.”
