Transcripts for BBCNEWS Witness History 20240604 02:33:00

in 1963, the bristol omnibus company refused to employ black people on its buses. we don t want them on there, that s the main reason. there ain t going to be enough work for the whites, leave alone the blacks. we intend to go on engaging white labour rather- than coloured labour. they didn t know that i was black, but on my arrival things changed and i become a black person, not a person. at the time, every day there was adverts in the paper for bus drivers and conductors. injamaica, i d never seen a double decker bus, and when i saw the double decker buses over here i thought, oh, i d love to be able to drive one of those. what you want, mr green, is to restrict the numbers of coloured people who come and getjobs in the transport department as drivers and conductors?
