Hello,

Recently, I have written a new book that might be of interest to you:

James Robinson Johnston: The Life, Death and Legacy of Nova Scotia's First Black Lawyer. $14.95 Nimbus Publishing, 2005

ISBN: 1551095092

My book deals with James Robinson Johnston, who was Nova Scotia Canada's first black lawyer and one of the most significant and compelling figures in Canadian history that had his life cut short at the age of 39 and is only now being talked about by scholars because of the circumstances of his death.

Mr. Johnston was a classmate of Henry Sylvester Williams, the father of the Pan-African Movement. My book briefly discusses their relationship during Williams' short stay in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

FYI, Nova Scotia is home to the largest and oldest community of blacks in Canada.

I welcome any comments or questions.

Yours very truly,

Justin M. Johnston
