[Oe List ...] Death of Robert Shropshire

[Dharmalingam Vinasithamby]

Very sad to hear of his passing. We taught together at the Black Academy several times and through him, I got to know about the feelings and hopes of the black community in the 70s. We worked together at Bombay house together as well. I had been trying to track him down all these years with no success. A man with a great sense of humour and passion.
