"I admired Angela Davis when I was younger. Growing up in Hackney, I read her autobiography in the early 1990s which I borrowed from a friend.
I first discovered that she came to Hackney to give a talk at the Town Hall in 1986 while reading one of Andrea Levy's novels, 'Fruit of the Lemon'. In 1986 I would have been in my early teens so would I have come to see her? Who knows but it would have been great if I did!"
