[7] In 1924, Jenkins founded the "Canadian League for the Advancement of Colored People," (CLACP) which used The Dawn as its primary means of advertisement and organization.
[1] The CLACP, meant to serve as a Canadian equivalent to the NAACP, had branches in London, Windsor, Dresden, and Toronto, and acted as a social-welfare organization.
While the CLACP never reached national status, it locally assisted Black Canadians with job placements, professional opportunities, youth education, and provided services and goods to those in need.
[7] The Dawn reported on transnational movements, like Garveyism, UNIA in Canada, and the opening of the NCC in Montreal, as well as Black Canadian wartime effort during WWII.
[9] The Dawn of Tomorrow currently holds a legacy as a newspaper that provided equal attention to both social issues and movements, as well as Black Canadian cultures, community, and leisure.
