After initially experiencing racism in the workplace for the first time which “opened his eyes” a local author from St Ann’s has spoken about his book. The self-published book, which is now available in the British Library London, speaks about the racism he has experienced and how racism is “beyond slavery.”
Racism is Real is available on Amazon. The book was originally published in 2020, just weeks after the murder of George Floyd, and is an autobiography of Clive Henry's life.
It touches upon a legal battle with his former employers UPS Ltd for racial discrimination including being unfairly treated. He was the only person to be put on a performance improvement plan (PIP) as the only black person in the deparment in 2008. The battle went on for years and was even taken to the European Commission for Human Rights in Belgium. Clive however lost his case.
