The stories of three black men whose tragic lives speak resoundingly to the place and role of the foreigner in English society: Francis Barber, who was 'given' to Samuel Johnson, Randolph Turpin, Britain's first black world champion boxer, and David Oluwale, whose death at the hands of the police in 1969 was a wake-up call to the nation.
