"Herman came to England from guyana with his family in 1957. He attained a Municipal Management diploma after studying at Catford College in Lewisham. Between 1978 and 2000, Herman achieved a number of firsts within the UK black community. He was the first black person to gain the positions of Race Equality Advisor, and eventually CEO in the London Borough of Lambeth, Policy Advisor for Ethnic Minorities for the greater London Council, Chief Executive of a local authority in England and Executive Chairman of the former Commission for Racial Equality. After he stepped down from the latter position, Herman set up his own business, Different Realities Partnership, which looks at institutional discrimination, organisational change, people management, community cohesion and equality."[1]
