Late 19th & 20th century history[edit]

Making some progress. Awaiting delivery of Robin W. Winks's Blacks in Canada: a History (3rd edn, finally). Looking also at Dutch immigration post-WWII; Nisei camp saga; earlier Czech & Slovak immigration/Czech Hall; history of Horticultural Society & role of same in creation of arboretum, etc.; parks & recreation in general; more businesses eg Wally / Hillerich & Bradsby. Also expecting the 1992 update, by Lauriston's daughter, of Romantic Kent.

Racism[edit]

This page papers over Dresden's notorious reputation for racism which needs to be remedied, even if it is now history. --Michael Goodyear (talk) 01:36, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Mgoodyear: Any thoughts are welcome. Protalina (talk) 11:00, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I'd be grateful for any feedback on the current page.

In the New Year, a new "Notable people" section (currently in draft) will include Hugh Burnett, Bromley Armstrong and Ruth Lor Malloy (Malloy bio page also in draft), and I think Abraham Feinberg and William Carter — bio needed too — an uncle of Hugh Burnett, he presented the argument for an anti-discrimination bylaw to Dresden's council — Feinberg stayed with him when in Dresden.

Kind regards,
