First black Briton to reach North Pole urges inner-city youths to get out to the countryside

Subject

Black History Celebration

Description

A man from Hackney who turned his life around after narrowly surviving a street shooting is set to become the first black Briton to walk to the South Pole. Dwayne Fields will begin a 58-day, 1,150km trek to the most hostile environment on Earth in November this year. He is already the first black British man to have reached the North Pole, and hopes his exploits will encourage more inner-city teenagers to explore the British countryside.
