‘People still do not understand their history… they see me still representing the slave’ – scientist Sir Geoff Palmer

We speak to scientist and human rights activist, Professor Sir Geoff Palmer.

He is Professor Emeritus at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh.

We began by asking him about his efforts to get a plaque put on the statue of slave owner and one-time Home Secretary, Henry Dundas, which stands in the centre of Edinburgh.
