Bromley Armstrong, 1926-2018, Jamaica.
In 1947, Armstrong immigrated to Canada. He was a trade unionist in Canada while working to manufacture agricultural equipment. An advocate for social justice, he helped force human rights protections through his activism, including by exposing and protesting businesses that excluded Black patrons, and property holders that excluded Black tenants.
