Oswald George Powe (11 August 1926 - 9 September 2013), known as George Powe,[1] was a Jamaican-born, England-based, radar operator, electrician, teacher, writer and racial-equality activist.[2][3][4]
Powe served in the Royal Air Force during World War II, before moving to England. He led a successful campaign forcing Raleigh Bicycle Company to improve their treatment and recruitment of Black workers. He is the author of the 1956 publication Don’t Blame the Blacks. When he was elected as a Labour Party local councillor, he became one of the first Black Labour councillors and the first Black Labour councillor in Greater Nottingham.
A blue plaque marks Powe's family home and a bus was named after him in 2022.
