Who is David Olusoga?

David Olusoga was born in Lagos Nigeria, to a Nigerian father and British mother. At five years old, Olusoga migrated to the UK with his mother and grew up in Gateshead. He was one of few non-white people living on a council estate and by the time he was 14, the National Front had attacked his house on more than one occasion, requiring police protection for him and his family. They were eventually forced to leave as a result of racism.

David attended the University of Liverpool to study history before becoming a producer of history programs. He then became a presenter himself and is now also a distinguished writer, being the author of the 2016 book Black and British: A Forgotten History.
