in General Charlton
Around about 1995 or 1996 time when I was at Thomas Tallis School, we was asked asked for homework to write about a famous black person. In the end I wrote about Martin Luther King, a legend who changed the world forever. I think a few wrote about Nelson Mandela. I remember a lad in a class who was an Arsneal fanwrote about Ian Wright who was was on his way to becoming Arsenal's record goal scorer at the time.

If it had been now that we was asked to write such an essay there is just one inspirational black person I could write about now... "Sir Christopher George Robin Powell!"

    and what sort of school did you go to where you had to write about a famous black person rather than a famous person ?
