"His dream became ours, though even to this day we struggle to fulfill it. The Canada that listened to Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous speech 50 years ago next week – as great a milestone in the slow, slouching march of race relations in America as Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address a hundred years before – congratulated itself on its mostly peaceful past, a past that included serving as a refuge for escaped slaves.“Deep in our history of struggle for freedom,” Dr. King said, “Canada was the North Star” – the star followed by the Underground Railroad. “We sang of ‘heaven’ that awaited us and the slave masters listened in innocence, not realizing that we were not speaking of the hereafter,” he explained. “Heaven was the word for Canada.” - John Ibbitson, Globe and Mail
