With his co-author, Keshia Abraham, John Woolf tells the story of Black Victorians who have been marginalised by history.
There are many characters to meet - Sarah Forbes Bonetta who was given as a gift to Queen Victoria, Pablo Fanque who ran a circus, the composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, and South African Saartjie Baartman who was exhibited as the 'Hottentot Venus'.... and many more.
Fascinating and sometimes shocking book wonderfully introduced by its co-author John Woolf.
