Mandela and the civil rights struggle - Bristol's first black nurse

Kevin Philemon and Primrose Granville

Available for over a year

"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." - Nelson Mandela. The 1960s was a significant period for Mandela and others who contributed to civil rights. Princess Campbell was the first black nurse in Bristol during that period, and shares some of her moments with BBC Gloucestershire's Kevin Philemon.
