SPEAR magazine cover — "Father Pascal the people's priest"
SPEAR
CANADIAN MAGAZINE OF TRUTH & SOUL
JANUARY 1977 — SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS
Cover lines:
- Father Pascal the people's priest - Natalie Cole - MISS BLACK ONTARIO IN BIMSHIRE - Jamaican's climb to top OHRC post
Colour portrait photograph filling the cover: a smiling young Black woman with a natural afro hairstyle, wearing small gold earrings and a knitted top with wide diagonal stripes in blue-grey, tan and rust, against a dark background. The masthead "SPEAR" is printed large across the top in red block letters with a black outline; the cover lines run down the left-hand side in white and yellow.
The physical magazine is worn — scuffed and creased, with a small light-coloured scuff mark on the cheek of the portrait and wear along the edges — but all cover text is fully legible.
