Description
Simon Woolley's life story is one of remarkable resilience and determination. Born into a challenging environment, he rose to become a trailblazer in British politics, breaking down barriers as the first Black man to head an Oxbridge college. This is a deeply personal and inspiring account of his journey, from his early days on the impoverished St Matthew's Estate in Leicester, where he learned about politics and racism, to his experiences in South America that sparked a desire to make a difference.
