Enoch Powell

Date of birth : 06/16/1912
Date of death : 02/08/1998
City of birth : Stechford, Birmingham, England, UK

Enoch Powell was a British Conservative MP for Wolverhampton. He later became a member of the Ulster Unionist party. At one time he was considered a likely Conservative Party leader and was admired by - among many others - Margaret Thatcher, but he is now remembered mainly for one thing: that he favoured the repatriation of black immigrants living in Britain. He ended his status as one of British politics' rising stars when he delivered his infamous anti-immigration speech, the "Rivers of Blood", on April 20th 1968. It saw him thrown out of Edward Heath's Shadow Cabinet and is seen as a turning point in race relations in Britain.
