Prince George Heritage Commission wants to create a plaque to honour Charles Sager
An important figure in Prince George’s Black History is Charles Sager, a local business owner who famously sent a letter to city council calling out the racism and mistreatment of the Black community in the 1920s.
He worked as a playwright across the States, staging shows across the American Midwest through the late 1800s. In Chicago, he was a founding member of the Pekin Theatre, the first Black owned and operated theatre in the United States in 1905. It wasn’t the Chinese community who were targeted by Keegan’s plan, but instead the city’s small Black population.
That they are vicious, immoral, of no certain occupation and consequently undesirable. No reservations are made; no discriminations. It is “the n*” of the streets with “the n*” of business. This is the negro’s point of view, and it is a direct challenge to every self respecting Negro in Prince George – in Canada.
