The class : a memoir of a place, a time, and us / by Dryden, Ken,1947-author.;
"From bestselling author Ken Dryden, a riveting new book. On Tuesday, September 6, 1960, the day after Labour Day, class 9G at Etobicoke Collegiate Institute in a suburb of Toronto assembled for the first time. Its thirty-five students, having written special exams, came to be known as the "Selected Class." They would stay together through high school, with few exceptions. They would spend more than two hundred days a year together. Few had known each other before. Few have been in other than accidental contact in all the decades since. Their ancestors were almost all from working-class backgrounds. Their parents had lived their formative years through depression and war. They themselves were born into a postwar world of new homes, new schools, new churches. New suburbs. Of new classes like this one. Of boundless possibilities. When almost anything seems within reach, what do we reach for? Ken Dryden was one of these thirty-five. In his varied, improbable life, he had wondered often how he had gotten from there to here. How any of us do. He decided to try and find his classmates, to see how they are, what they are doing, how life has been for them. They talked many long hours, in a way they had never talked before. Most had married, some divorced, most have kids, many have grandkids. This is the story of a place, a time, and so much more."--

A darker shade of blue : a police officer's memoir / by Merith, Keith,author.;
Sixteen-year-old Keith Merith finds himself pulled over, berated, and degraded by a white police officer. He's done nothing wrong-he was only looking for a parking spot. But the officer has the power, and he doesn't. Keith never wants to be in that position again. From that day on, he vows to join a police service and effect change from within. Twelve years and thirteen police services later, Keith is finally hired by the York Regional Police. Although subjected to unfair treatment and constant racial "pinpricks", he perseveres and gradually rises through the ranks. After a stellar career and passionate pursuit of systemic change, Keith retires at the rank of superintendent. But his desire for sustained and equitable change persists. In 'A Darker Shade of Blue', Keith advocates for immediate police reform-starting with recruitment. He wants to see inclusive law enforcement agencies reflecting their communities and behaving in a manner that honours their obligation to serve and protect citizens equally. As a Black man charged with the duty to serve, Keith delivers an evocative perspective on all sides of policing by providing the opportunity to walk in his shoes.
