Stephen Bourne has been writing about black British history for 25 years, and each of his books, including his latest, Under Fire: Black Britain in Wartime, 1939-45, has included queer people. For Black History Month, Stephen celebrates 15 queer movers and shakers who were making their mark in Britain long before Empire Windrush brought Jamaican migrants to Britain in 1948.
Cecil Belfield Clarke (1894-1970)
