The Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Education Trust will shortly be publishing a book celebrating the achievements of Britain’s Black Olympic Heroes. Children from 15 schools in Manchester have written narrative biographies, created artwork and composed poetry and fan letters about sportsmen and women from minority groups who have represented Great Britain on the Olympic stage. These include some of the most famous Black British Olympians such as Daley Thompson, young up-and-coming heroes like Louis Smith and Paralympians such as Ade Adepitan and Alexandra Rickham.
The book shows how Britain’s young people are inspired by our nation’s Black Olympic Heritage. |
