We told this poem because it is very relevant to the times now. But do it tough means not just that the ground is hard but the times are hard, poet, comedian, writer, and educator, Miss Lou, or if you'd like her full title, right? Honorable Dr Louise Simone Bennett Coley mbe would have celebrated her 1/100 birthday last year. River flood. But what skis and do it tough. An icon of Jamaican culture and theater. It was partly Miss Liu who inspired the beginning of Jamaica Society, Leeds after a group of six first generation Jamaicans living in Leeds realized they had nowhere to entertain her when she visited Leeds in the seventies. Shortly after her visit, the group was formed in Chapel Town and is now one of the most respected Jamaican community groups in the UK. This weekend, a special selection of photos of first generation Jamaicans who arrived in Leeds in the forties, fifties and sixties that have been transformed into color from black and white will be put on display online. It's really important, you know that when we tell the story of leads that we tell every chapter and we tell them clearly and we tell them factually as well. We tell them truthfully, this is leeds and this is everybody and everything about leeds. Susan Pitter is the curator of the battle, come with me and you'll be, you know, pure imagination. Why do we think reading stories is important? Um Because we can learn different words and different vocabulary from the books. You got a favorite word. Smells Kumba. What was a cumber? Who can remember what that is in BFK? It looks a bit like cucumber, but it's called saber. And are they delicious cumber? Well, should we do something really fun? Would you like to suddenly be the interviewee? Can you hold on to that? So don't press that button and then you get to ask Mr Roy Croft a question, why do you think learning to read important, well, learning to read is important because not only does it teach you all of those words that you're going to use my suspicions and let that, I think my outcomes would have been much different. That's fiz Ahmed. She's from Leeds. She'll be 53 this year and was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in February 2015. Do you check your breasts or for a man? Do you check your pecks and yeah, you have to take your kit off. But if you got a loose fitting jumper, you could stick your hand underneath your jumper and do it. And that's Julie Hodgins who works for the Pennine breast screening service which operates out of Bradford Hospitals. I am going to remove the top. I'm gonna remove it. Now, the curtains are drawn and the bra is officially off. This is my first ever topless interview and that's me, Beth Parsons from BBC radio leads copping a feel for breast cancer Awareness Month. As you heard Shazia say a moment ago, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the UK. Now, self checks are really remarkably rather easy. It is true. We're all a bit shy sometimes. We don't just whap them out anywhere, do we? But it could literally save your life, your left arm on top of your head and you use your right hand and keep your foot. Let's have some, a big bottle. We've also got a gel hand sanitizer in sort of one of those pumps that you might see. So that's a bit more sort of gloopy. And then you've got in here a little spray bottle looks like that would work in someone's hand the operation this area we regard as normal solution manufacturing. So this is dissolving something in water that means slightly safer it, so anything that's a based has no flammability hazard. So all the hazards are attached with what we might be dissolving in it. We've got another area where we handle flammable materials and that's got different lighting, different air extraction and there's no mobile phones, no, no smoking, no sparks, no nothing like that. We're a small scale chemical manufacturer, producing materials for niche manufacturing companies. So everything we do is pretty much bespoke small scale. This is what the lab was like at school, near the chemistry office full of bottles. And we are the biggest provider of lab chemicals to secondary education in the UK. What would people be familiar with methylated spirits? Is that what I used to put on my feet to make them a bit blister proof. Is that? Hello, Lindsay? Hello. Nice to meet you. How are you? Good, thanks. This other kid. So this is you going out? Yeah. So this is just like, if I was a theater just somewhere in, like a shopping center. But this is funny because you kind of do that. Oh, wow. Yeah. But then the only thing is it's a work of art, putting the thing back down the sight loss that I have warrants me to be registered blind. But I do have about 30 per cent vision left. I had a guide dog, Charlotte and I sadly lost her on the 17th of January to cancer. She was a valued family member. We were absolutely devastated when we lost her. How many years have you lived here? Lindsay. It'll be about 23. Normally, if I'd have had Charlotte, she would have worked on the left. I would have said find the gate, Charlotte and then I would have opened the gate and I would have got ourselves onto the road to go forward once it was safe to cross, I've got to work out how to cross, but because they're digging up all the road and I can't cross straight across, I've got to work out how to get across the road now. So I think my safest option is to cross the other side. So, let's see what the rolling ball game does here. What difference did it make when you got Charlotte? Six years ago, it made a huge difference. You can sort of feel where you're going with the cane or it can't pick up on obstacles like a guide dog can. So I'm just kind of making sweeping movements from the left to the right with the, with the cane. And obviously, I, I, I'm not aware if I'm actually on a pavement now or if I'm on a rule.
