Original Note:
Benjamin Zephaniah was born in Birmingham, was never a slave or knew any slaves as slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833. Contrary to his clam that he has fought empire and slavery for his "entire life", he spent time in a youth prison for burglary and affray. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/dec/07/benjamin-zephaniah-obituary?CMP=share_btn_url
