The Head Master of Eton College, Simon Henderson, says he is
“appalled” by the racism experienced by Dillibe Onyeama, the first Nigerian and first black student to graduate from the school.
But Henderson said, “We have made significant strides since Onyeama was at Eton but – as millions of people around the world rightly raise their voices in protest against racial discrimination and inequality – we have to have the institutional and personal humility to acknowledge that we still have more to do.”
“We must all speak out and commit to doing better – permanently – and I am determined that we seize this moment as a catalyst for real and sustained change for the better,” the headmaster added.However, Onyeama said the apology was unnecessary and did not change his view of Eton, which on the whole was positive.
