Leaders respond after a Guardian study finds just 4.6% of people in prominent public positions in the city are Black
A Guardian analysis has found just 4.6% of people in prominent public positions in Manchester – including politics, sport, education, arts, business and health – are Black. The figure is a significant underrepresentation of Manchester’s Black population, which stands at 14.8%.
The Guardian spoke to three leaders in their fields in Manchester on the impact the lack of diversity has had on them, and why they still fight for change.
