Comics in the Trash
:: Posted by Bryan @ 11/22/2006 06:08:00 AM This profile of the Lt. Governor of Ontario, James K. Bartleman, a career diplomat and former Chretien advisor, has one of the most affecting tales of comics literacy ever. In a discussion of his drive to stock libraries in Native communities, the article delves into a very interesting fact about Bartleman's early years, noting that when:
"Bartleman was a child, his family was so poor, he and his three siblings learned to read from comic books abandoned at the town dump.
It might not have been a traditional way of learning, but his love of literacy dates back to learning to read from comic books."
