Lord Paul Boateng

Woth

At a time when many people’s faith in politics to “do good” is being shattered by current events in the Middle East, hearing from Lord Paul Boateng – with whom I shared a Black History Month panel at London South Bank University – was a tonic.

One of the original pioneering Black Labour MPs who entered the House of Commons in 1987, Lord Boateng reminded students, guests and fellow panellists why activism & justice still matter.
