Happy 85th birthday to Claudette Colvin! She refused to move to the back of a bus 9 months before Rosa Parks, the NAACP did not want to use her to represent them because she was 15 & pregnant. Other women who refused to give up their seats before Rosa Parks A THREAD!

So sad that more than 180 UK public libraries have closed since 2016. My mother signed me up for the local library as soon as she could. Libraries changed my life

RIP our dear friend, mentor and cheerleader Simon Albury. This news sent shockwaves through the TV and creative industries this week. We will ensure his impact and legacy are not forgotten. Sending love to his family at this incredibly sad time. broadcastnow.co.uk/home/tributes-…

The passing of Simon Albury is brutally devastating. Simon was such a special person, truly a giant. He defined the concept and standard of allyship – often at personal cost. He was a fearless and peerless advocate, mentor and such a crucial friend. Enormous loss. Rest in

I’m so very sad to read the news of Simon’s passing. It was my pleasure to have known him and to have been on the receiving end of his good counsel many times. A true campaigner for equality and diversity for many long years and a good friend to @Bectu broadcastnow.co.uk/home/tributes-…

I’m truly saddened to lose Simon Albury. A friend and a genuine fearless champion of diversity. Saw through all the empty posturing. broadcastnow.co.uk/home/tributes-…

Simon Albury was truly magnificent. His commitment to ensuring diversity in an industry that forever fought against it was exemplary. I first entered TV, as someone with no TV connections, through a scheme he introduced at ITV. Many of us have him to thank for so much. RIP Simon.

I am really sad at the loss of campaigner and all round good guy Simon Albury Simon Albury. As a Head of Creative Diversity Channel 4 and at the BBC he regularly took me to task, kept us on our toes, demanded, cajoled, persuaded. Not many people care enough to do this.

Well said Charlene. He really was totally dedicated to diversity & inclusion & recognised he could speak without fear. And speak he did, over decades. RIP Simon, you loved the industry & sought to improve it. Also sending condolences to his brother Robert and to all the family 💕
