May 27: "With These Hands"

Another song by The Young 'Uns.

They have produced some excellent music.

This song tells of Sybil Phoenix who came to Britain from British Guiana in 1956. She overcame racism and personal tragedy to become the first black woman to be awarded the MBE for her work fostering hundreds of children in Lewisham. 

Now 89 she is still active with the charity she founded in memory of her daughter – the Marsha Phoenix Memorial Trust.
