Jane's Walk: A Radical History of Allan Gardens
May 04, 2014
In the 1880s and 1890s, Allan Gardens served as a playground for some of Toronto's wealthiest residents. Many historians have written about this grand era. However, the radical history of Allan Gardens following the turn of the 20th century has largely been ignored. This walk will look at this radical history -- the battle for free speech during the Great Depression, the protests against the nuclear bomb and the fight to read poetry in the park in the early 1960s, the anti-Nazi riots in the mid-1960s, and the large anti-poverty demonstrations of the 1990s.
Time: 10:00
Venue: Allan Gardens
Location: Corner of Carlton Street and Sherbourne St. Toronto, ON
