It is the mid-eighteenth century, a time of fundamental social change. Whilst English ships journey to Africa to purchase slaves for the overseas colonies, its black residents face perilous lives.

Autorenporträt
Patrick Ismond started his career as a Sociology lecturer, with a special interest in community relations, struggles for working-class equality, and diverse sporting identities. These themes translated to work in the public and private sectors, where he has worked with Board members, frontline staff and HR departments, to embed organisation development and culture change programs. His experience has been gained across a range of organisations of differing sizes and levels of complexity - from NHS Trusts to the army, and from football clubs to third-sector charities. He is currently Head of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for the RSPCA, with a key remit to embed a Society-wide plan across the National Society and its extensive branch network. Away from work, he established a fully inclusive games event for the over-50s, is a keen Arsenal fan, and has a lifelong interest in the life and career of activist and singer Paul Robeson.
