Published originally as "Kill The Black One First" 'Absorbing...
revealing and affecting. There are pleasures here, and lessons to
be learnt, whatever colour you are' - The Sunday Times 'Michael
Fuller is an extraordinary man with a remarkable and interesting
story' - Helen Mirren Michael Fuller had an idyllic childhood
growing up in care in Surrey, looked after by Margaret who gave him
the love and comfort his biological mother never did. He loved to
ride his bike and collect coins and stamps and grew up celebrating
the freedom of 1960s Britain. But when he was nine, a local paper
described him as the 'coloured boy' in his school production. It
was the first time Michael felt judged based on the colour of his
skin. Thirty-six years later, Michael became Britain's first ever
black Chief Constable. That moment taught Michael he would always
be searching for a place to belong. Hoping to tackle injustice and
create change from within, he joined the police force, but
experienced racism and inequality. From colleagues shouting racist
insults into his office, to the Brixton Riots where 'Kill the black
one first!' was yelled from the crowds. Determined, despite
everything, not to turn and walk away, he rose through the ranks
and made his way to the very top. A Search For Belonging is a story
of resilience, persistence and optimism; of how one man set out,
against the odds, to try and belong.
