It is a bit late for Black History Month, but you may like to explore / listen to the various interviews with people who were there at key moments in civil rights history, from Martin Luther King’s ‘I have a dream’ speech, to surviving Robben Island with Nelson Mandela. There is plenty of good British content too. For example, as this controversial world cup kicks off, have a listen to Viv Anderson taking about being the first black man to play for England.
These programmes are taken from the BBC World Service programme Witness, 2009 – 2013 and can be found by clicking here.
