“St Hugh’s College was delighted to host Pamela Roberts as our keynote speaker. She gave a fascinating, thoroughly well-researched and mesmerising talk about Lady Ademola, an alumna of our College who was the first black African woman to graduate from Oxford. A large and diverse audience attended the event and Pamela was very well-received indeed.”
