British farmer Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones says supermarkets will now sell his new range of sausages featuring the faces of Mary Seacole and others during Black History Month
From Robertson’s marmalade to Uncle Ben’s rice, the history of images of black people on British products is long and inglorious.
That is set to change next month when Mary Seacole, the British-Jamaican nurse who cared for soldiers during the Crimean war, will become one of three black heroes from British history to be featured on supermarket shelves.
