Kensington Market has a history
of community involvement in causes that affected
them:
• The Labour Lyceum
was opened in 1925 as a home for unions and the
socialist movement.
• In 1933 people marched across College Street
and Spadina to Queen’s Park to protest the
rise of anti-Semitism in Germany.
• In 1937 people participated in anti-war demonstrations.
• The UNIA (United Negro Improvement Association),
opened as a centre for activists working to improve
the lives of Black people.
