"Two years before she published Greenlee, Busby had become not only Britain’s youngest publisher, but also its first black female one (John la Rose, who established New Beacon Books in 1966, was Britain’s first black publisher; they were quickly followed, in 1969, by Jessica Huntley, of Bogle-L’Ouverture)." - Aida Edemariam

Please take a moment to enjoy this incredibly insightful interview with the revolutionary Margaret Busby - one of Jessica's oldest and dearest friends, Patron of FHALMA and co-editor of our No Colour Bar Exhibition book.

Margaret was instrumental in the development of both Bogle-L'Ouverture Publications and the Huntley Archives and has made a lasting impact on the publishing world. ❤️
