Cleo Laine on heritage and upbringing, UK; 1959

The jazz musician Cleo Laine, being interviewed at a meeting of the Stars Campaign for Interracial Friendship (SCIF), responds to questions about the White Defence League's view that anyone who isn't considered white should be 'repatriated'. Asked where she was born, she says 'Southall, Middlesex', using the local accent. Asked about her heritage, she says, 'My father came to England for the 1918-14 war. And he didn't go back - he married my mother afterwards. And here am I!' UK; 1959. (LCA6661A - AEVZ001J)
