We are delighted to announce that Clovis is the Winning Recipient of the 2024 National Diversity Awards for the prestigious:
Lifetime Achiever Award
*****
The UK’s 1st Important Black Historical Documentary Filmmaker.
At 97, Clovis Salmon OBE is a venerable UK icon. In 1954, he left his homeland to help rebuild war-torn Britain. Known as ‘Sam The Wheels’, Clovis is a Windrush Pioneer, cycling artisan, retired minister, archivist, and the UK’s first Black documentary filmmaker. He has documented Black British life and culture from the 1950s to the present day, including the Brixton Uprising in 1981. Clovis’ films feature in major documentaries, venues, and newspapers, and are archived at institutions like the BBC.
They serve as global collective therapy, healing, well-being and heritage preservation, amplifying and validating the journeys and voices of those whose stories might otherwise fade into history, inspiring social change. Clovis’ significant contribution to the bicycle industry is also acknowledged.
Honoured with an OBE for services to Culture and to the Black Community in April 2024, Clovis’ journey, ‘From The Bush To The Castle,’ reflects unity and compassion, inspiring future generations.
