To this end, he set up ACER (Afro-Caribbean Education Resource) and co-founded the Black Cultural Archives. ==Family and education== Len Garrison was born in St Thomas, Jamaica. His father and mother migrated to Britain in 1952 and 1953 respectively, and Len joined them there in west London in 1954.〔Mike Phillips, ("Obituary: Len Garrison - Recording the history of black Britons for future generations" ), ''The Guardian'', 28 February 2003.〕 His early training was as a photographer, a passion from his childhood, which he studied at King's College London. He went on to become a specialist medical photographer at Guy's Hospital, as well as an active freelance photographer for the ''West Indian Gazette''. His educationalist training began in 1971 when he attended Ruskin College gaining a diploma in development studies. He later gained a BA at the University of Sussex in African history and Caribbean history, then went on to an MA in local history from Leicester University. In 1987 he married his wife Marie, and they had a son, Tunde.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Len Garrison」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
