Channel 4 ran a programme at 10.00 last Monday about the first black policeman in South Yorkshire Police.
I didn't realise until we started watching it that this guy lives at the end of our road. He's a really nice guy, now retired with grown up kids, but the stories he tells about joining up and how he was treated by the police at that time is eye opening. Especially viewed through the lens of 2021. His wife was a nurse and his two kids were the only non-whites in the local school.
It's worth a look on C4 catch up.
