There are far too many factual errors here. Ms Morgan needs to study the work of Stephen Bourne especially his book War to Windrush - Black Women in Britain 1939-48 (Jacaranda Books, 2018) which includes a chapter about Amanda Ira Aldridge & Ida Shepley. Earl Cameron's recollection of Amanda was first given to Stephen when he was interviewed for Stephen's 1998 book Black in the British Frame - The Black Experience in British Film & TV.
