EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in London's history. It showcases P. C. Norwell Lionel Gumbs, the city's first black policeman, at the tender age of 21 during his second week of training at Hendon Police College on April 5th, 1967. In an era marked by racial tensions and social change, P. C. Gumbs broke barriers and shattered stereotypes as he proudly donned his police uniform. The image captures him standing tall with determination etched across his face, ready to serve and protect the diverse communities of London. The sight of this young constable wearing a helmet symbolizes law and order prevailing over prejudice. His presence represents progress towards equality within the force as well as society as a whole. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that diversity strengthens our institutions and enriches our collective identity. P. C. Gumbs' pioneering spirit paved the way for future generations of ethnic minorities to join the ranks of London's police force. As we reflect upon this snapshot from the past, let it inspire us to continue striving for inclusivity in all aspects of life – be it within law enforcement or beyond its boundaries. May this image stand not only as a testament to one man's courage but also as a call for justice and unity in our ever-evolving world.
