Introduction

In nine sixtis britain, many black immigrant children were being sent to schools for those with low intelligence. Racest attitudes throughout the school system were to blame. Black educationalists like gus john and others set up supplementary saturday schools for black children to try to mitigate the problem. I've been hearing how some police and head teachers tried to shut them down. In 19 64, aged 19 gus john was allset to become a priest after excelling at school in the caribbeian. He arrived in england to study theology at oxford university. Soon he found himself helping the local black population in oxford with landlords and employers.
