Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Respected man: Harry Gairey has been called the Godfather of the West Indian Community; a title he accepts but qualifies by saying he's the godfather who helps people. And he has - everybody from railway porters and immigrants to couples having marital problems and the poor. He's proud to be black.
