When you were
voted mayor of Southwark what did it feel like?
I felt very glad and
proud It was a brilliant opportunity to be the first black mayor of
Southwark.
How old were
you when you became mayor?
I was 57.
What was it
like to be the first black mayor of Southwark ?
It was not easy. People
thought that black people could not be mayors. One day I was invited
to seven different institutions and I had to speak five times. But on
the whole I found it to be a pleasant experience.
