Harry Edward, recognized as Britain's first black Olympic medallist, will be inducted into the England Athletics Hall of Fame this November in Birmingham. He achieved notable success in the 1920 Antwerp Olympics, winning bronze medals in both the 100m and 200m events, and was a champion sprinter in various AAA championships during the 1920s.
Joining Edward in the Hall of Fame are other distinguished athletes, including Mo Farah and Sonia Lannaman. This recognition highlights Edward's significant contributions to athletics and civil rights, as well as his legacy that has gained renewed attention in recent years.
