Описание: Benjamin Zephaniah (15 April 1958 – 7 December 2023) was a British writer, dub poet and actor. Described as the people's laureate, Zephaniah drew on his lived experiences of incarceration, racism and his Jamaican heritage to encourage a wide range of audiences to engage with his creative works. In 2003 Zephaniah publicly rejected the British honour of Order of the British Empire (OBE) stating that: "I get angry when I hear that word 'empire'; it reminds me of slavery, it reminds of thousands of years of brutality, it reminds me of how my foremothers were raped and my forefathers brutalised". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Zephaniah The following is a non-exhaustive list of people who have declined a British honour, such as a knighthood or other grade of honour. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_declined_a_British_honour Benjamin Zephaniah on racism, refusing an OBE and football www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67646402 CC BY-SA Portrait of Benjamin Zephaniah at Waterstones, Piccadilly, London by EdwardX on Wikimedia Commons w.wiki/8RH6
