What a privilege for me to visit Sturminster Newton Literary Festival yesterday. Fantastic audience, fantastic Jo Durrant interview and fantastic local leads from the floor - that I look forward to following up to shed more light on the African American experience in Second World War Britain.
I will be speaking at Sturminster Newton tomorrow about my book Black Yanks: Defending Leroy Henry in D-Day Britain. I'll be interviewed by the amazing @jodurrant.co.uk - we start at 4pm at The Exchange and would love to see you!
