black history # 6

I must choose one black Canadien. So I choose one black person who played football and track and field ( Emery Barnes).I choose this man because I like track and field.

Emery Barnes was born in New Orlean in 1929
and he moved to Canada in 1957.Barnes was an exelent like, athlete, particulary in high jump,track and field and even in football.

He gratuated with a social work and received a Bachelor.He was elected as one of the first two black members of the Legilative Assembly in 1972, and he was re-elected four times.He served the people in British Columbia until 1996.He was the first black politicians elected to a legislative office in B.C His life was dedicated to helped the disadvantaged people.He was a nice advocate for help worldwide human right and change the profil of black people in British Columbia.
