Searching for My Slave Roots

Beschreibung

Malik al Nasir was born in Liverpool, a mixed-race kid with the name Mark Watson which he changed when he converted to Islam in early adulthood. Bemused by memories of racist shouts for him to 'go back to where you came from' - he came from Liverpool after all - he began to look into his ancestry.
