To Sir, With Love by E R Braithwaite
When a woman refuses to sit next to him on the bus, Rick Braithwaite is saddened by her prejudice. In cosmopolitan London, he had hoped for a more enlightened attitude. When he begins his first teaching job in a tough East End school, the reactions are the same. Slowly and painfully, some of the barriers are broken down, but his story is still very relevant today.In the year 1912, E.R.Braithwaite was born in British Guiana (now Guyana). He received his education at City College of New York and the University of Cambridge, and he served in the Royal Air Force during WWII. Braithwaite lived in London from 1950 to 1960, first as a schoolteacher and subsequently as a welfare worker, as chronicled in his books To Sir, With Love and Paid Servant. Guyana's ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations was appointed to him in 1966. He was also a professor of English at New York University's Institute for Afro-American Affairs, a creative writing instructor at Howard University, and the author of five nonfiction works and two novels. At the age of 104, he died in 2016.
