Statue for Wales' first black headteacher Betty Campbell

A statue will be placed in Cardiff to immortalise Wales' first black headteacher Betty Campbell after she topped a Hidden Heroines vote.

Mrs Campbell proved wrong those who told her as a pupil her dream job was "insurmountable" in post-war Britain.

The school she led became a template around the UK for good multicultural education and Nelson Mandela sought her out on his only visit to Wales.

She was chosen by the thousands of people who voted in the BBC Wales poll.

The statue will be placed in the plaza of Central Square, by the BBC Wales' new headquarters, and her face was projected on to the side of the building on Friday to mark the announcement.
