- Paul_Lewis_(London,_Ontario) abstract "Paul Lewis (1889 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – 1974 in London, Ontario, Canada), was a notable African-American and popular figure in downtown London, Ontario for nearly 60 years.Lewis arrived in London, Ontario, in 1914, finding work at White's Barbershop on Dundas Street where his many customers included future big band leader Guy Lombardo and his musical family (The Royal Canadians).Active in the city's Black community, Lewis became a trustee at Beth Emmanuel Church (today, a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act and is still an active church to this day) at 430 Grey Street. He collected funds for the church and served as its choir director, soloist and clarinet player. He also helped organize the Canadian League for the Advancement of Colored Peoples with Dr. Fred Landon and Sir Adam Beck, founded in London in 1925. This national organization subsequently merged with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NCAAP)."Paul Lewis: A thoughtful man, born with a creative incentive to do great things so impressively -- inspiring and helping children and adults of all ages."—program for Beth Emmanuel Church, April, 1970.After the closure of White's Barbershop in 1948, Lewis took a variety of odd jobs, including work as a janitor at Woolworth's and Silverwood's Dairy. In later life he became a much-sought-after subject for photographers and painters. Some of this work went on display at national exhibitions.Although he enjoyed a reputation as an actor, Lewis's only known stage role was as the black gardener, Genesis, in the London Drama League's production of Seventeen by Booth Tarkington. Unfortunately, he auditioned unsuccessfully for the role of Joe in the Grand Theatre's production of Showboat in 1968.".
