Helen Falcon (Community Dentist)

Book excerpt: Abiodun Olayinka Bamgbelu says, “I am a Negro general dental practitioner, the first and only one in Wellingborough and Bedford, England. England is one of the least literate countries in the industrialised world. A self-educated Negro seemed a threat to those who might have been brought up to believe that the brain is in the skin. Helen Falcon, Kevin Atkinson, George Rothnie, Geraint Evans, all Caucasians, and Resh Diu, Indian, the next door surgery, all told unrelenting, Negrophobic lies on record and/or under oath. There was a catalogue of mediocrity and confusions that seemed complicated by prior predilection and innate racial hatred. They were dishonest and reckless, and allowed prior predilection and prejudice to becloud their objective reasoning and judgment. They immortalised mediocrity, confusion, and dishonesty on record.”
