A Man's a Man: A Study of Colour Bar in Birmingham (1954) is a political leaflet published by the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) in 1954.[1] It was written by black civil rights leader and communist activist, Henry Gunter, who would later lead a successful campaign to desegregate buses in the English city of Birmingham. The leaflet discussed social and economic issues facing black people in Britain including unemployment, hotels, housing, and social activities.[2]
The leaflet has been described by historians as an important piece of literature in the history of black people in Britain.[3] Historian Tia Hortin describes the leaflet as "a landmark piece of anti-racist literature."[2] The cover of the leaflet was later used in Black History Month promotional materials by Birmingham City Council.[4]
Research materials relating to Henry Gunter, along with a rare surviving copy of A Man's a Man, can be found in the Library of Birmingham's Wolfson Center for Archival Research.[5]
