Linton Kwesi Johnson in conversation with Dr Emily Zobel Marshall

The world-famous reggae poet, activist and journalist Linton Kwesi Johnson was one of the first artists to respond to the killing of David Oluwale. In another film on this channel you can see him give an extremely rare performance of that poem, Time Come. In this film he talks to DOMA Board member Dr Emily Zobel Marshall about his life, his work, and how David Oluwale’s story fits into the wider struggle for black power. (24 minutes.)
