Betty Campbell – and the magnificent monument that captures her spirit – continue to inspire.
Wales’ first black headteacher, champion of multiculturalism and community icon became the first Welsh female to be immortalised in bronze last September and now, just in time for International Women’s Day, her legacy will live on in a new play for children.
The one-woman show, called Betty Campbell – A Journey through Butetown, will take youngsters on a historical journey through Cardiff’s cultural melting pot, from the building of the docklands, through two World Wars and on to modern day Cardiff Bay... all through the eyes of the revered Mrs Campbell.
