The PT Show - Spotlight on Lord Herman Ouseley
Our Spotlight On series will shine the light on notable achievers and individuals of merit, doers, and movers and shakers in their field.
On our show today we have a man whose impressive career spanned thirty years in local government. He was the first Black Race Equality Adviser in Local government in London Borough of Lambeth in 1978. The first Black Policy Advisor for Ethnic Minorities with the Greater London Council in 1981. The first Black Chief Executive in a local authority in England with the former Inner London Education Authority in 1988, and then as CEO of the London Borough of Lambeth in 1990, after which he became the first Black Executive Chairman of the former Commission for Racial Equality.
In 1993 he started the ‘Let’s Kick Racism Out of Football campaign’ which later developed into ‘Kick It Out’ in 1997 in which he served as the chair for 25 years. He was elevated to the peerage as Lord in 2001.
He is truly a beacon for social justice, and a champion of causes which relate to providing opportunities for disadvantaged communities and eliminating inequalities and injustices.
