Quote:Woman recognised as ‘first black Briton’ by BBC was actually whitehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/woman-recognised-first-black-briton-140849454.html?guccounter=1
A plaque was erected to commemorate her heritage, which was later removed when a study suggested the woman was more likely to be from Cyprus, with a Mediterranean complexion.
Now a new DNA analysis of the skeleton by scientists at the Natural History Museum has shown that the woman originated from southern England and was white, with blonde hair and light eyes.
Doubt there was malicious intent but going from sub Saharan to whitest of white is pretty funny
