A Leeds Rastafarian man has opened up about the ‘no-go racist’ areas in Leeds he was told to avoid before moving to the city.
DJ Sammy ‘Dreadlocks’ Glynn, 61, moved to Leeds from Tottenham, London, and was told about three areas to avoid. He’s said that ever since he moved to Leeds, in the early 90s, he’s never had an issue with racism and even lives in one of areas he was told not to go to.
However, he spoke about how the West Indian community across the country forms associations with places. He’s said from a young age, he’d also known the more desirable places to go if you’re worried about racism.
