Released On: 10 Jan 2021
David Olusoga is a historian, writer and broadcaster who has presented a range of programmes including the BBC’s A House Through Time and Civilisations. He is currently professor of public history at Manchester University.

Born in Lagos, the second child to a Nigerian father and a British mother, David was brought up by his mother in Gateshead after his parents’ marriage broke down. As a child he and his siblings experienced sustained racism and he remembers school as a place of violence and cruelty.

He credits his mother’s tenacity and her determination to educate her children for his later success in getting to university and establishing a career in television. His love of history developed from a young age, thanks to one of his teachers who taught him why an understanding of history matters. Watching television documentaries also opened up a world of possibility and David fondly recalls programmes from the 1980s presented by the historian Michael Wood, who made history seem cool in the eyes of the young schoolboy glued to the TV in his Gateshead council house.

Last year David delivered the MacTaggart Lecture at the Edinburgh Television Festival in which he talked candidly about his loneliness at being the only black person on a production team and the difficulties he had trying to explain the racial implications of how, for example, people in Africa were often portrayed on screen.

大卫-奥卢索加是一位历史学家、作家和广播员，曾主持过一系列的节目，包括BBC的《穿越时空的房子》和《文明》。他目前是曼彻斯特大学的公共历史教授。

大卫出生于拉各斯，是父亲为尼日利亚人、母亲为英国人的第二个孩子，在父母婚姻破裂后，他由母亲在盖茨黑德抚养长大。小时候，他和他的兄弟姐妹们经历了持续的种族主义，他记得学校是一个充满暴力和残酷的地方。

他归功于他母亲的坚韧和她教育孩子的决心，使他后来成功地进入大学并在电视界建立了职业生涯。他对历史的热爱从小就开始了，这要归功于他的一位老师，他告诉他为什么对历史的理解很重要。观看电视纪录片也为他打开了一个可能的世界，大卫深情地回忆起20世纪80年代由历史学家迈克尔-伍德（Michael Wood）主持的节目，在盖茨黑德（Gateshead）市政厅的房子里紧盯着电视的小学生眼中，他让历史看起来很酷。

去年，大卫在爱丁堡电视节上发表了MacTaggart演讲，他在演讲中坦率地谈到了他作为制作团队中唯一的黑人的孤独感，以及他在解释诸如非洲人经常在屏幕上被描绘的种族含义时所遇到的困难。
