Description: (One of the first black firefighters in the UK)
Frank Arthur Bailey was a trailblazing Guyanese-British firefighter and social worker, known for being one of the first black firefighters in the United Kingdom. He challenged racial segregation practices by leading a walkout at a hospital in New York before moving to London in 1953. Despite facing discrimination and being denied promotions due to racism in the fire service, Bailey persisted and became a respected social worker, guardian ad litem, and legal adviser before retiring in 1990.
