About this listen

Who was The Bard of Colour?
Hip-Hop MC, writer and theatre-maker Testament takes us on a historical journey from Salford to Manchester to explore the life of 19th-century poet Robert Rose, known as The Bard of Colour, one of the first famous people of colour in Manchester's history. Along the way, Testament performs his own raps alongside poems by Rose including Reform, a rallying cry to end slavery all over the world.
