Can anyone advise? I told her that I knew nothing, but doubted that there was any legislation either banning Black workers or making them employable. ________________________________ From: Elsa O'Toole [[log in to unmask]] Sent: 23 October 2013 19:54 2013 Dear Ms. Sherwood, After months of searching, I have been advised to contact you personally for advice as the preeminent expert in Black Brit (recent) history. I am a Black British filmmaker researching my feature & would be grateful for your assistance. I've been trying for months to confirm a 4-digit date, prior to which White store owners deemed it offensive to White shoppers that Blacks handle goods. The questions are: 1. when were Black Brits first permitted to 'visibly' work in Oxford St, London shops - 197? 2. was legislation introduced (specifically) to address this & is it named/listed under the Race Relations Act of 1976? I would be so grateful if you could help or suggest experts in 'Black British Civil Rights - from 1960 to present day' that I can contact for advice? Thank you in advance.
