One of only four girls from the 160 children in her primary school to pass the eleven plus, Sylvia Vetta was the first in her family to enjoy higher education and got to enjoy that post-WWII wonder: upward mobility.Battling racism in Smethwick in the West Midlands during the most racist election in British history changed her life.
