Barbara Blake Hannah, Thames Television/ITV’s And The Entire British Broadcasting Industry’s First Black Journalist

I commend Barbara Black Hannah, Thames Television/ITV’s, and the entire British broadcasting industry’s first Black journalist.

In the mid-1960’s, Barbara Blake Hannah had immigrated to Great Britain from the Commonwealth realm of Jamaica, looking for work; wound up being Thames Television/ITV’s first Black journalist, and in part and parcel; the first Black journalist in the entire British broadcasting industry.

During the early 1970’s, Barbara Blake Hannah would eventually return to her native Jamaica, where resides well into the present day (as of the time of writing this post).

After returning to her native Jamaica, Barbara Blake Hannah would work for the BBC and Thames Television/ITV at their local outposts; in addition to serving as a producer for several Films with narratives about Jamaica.
