Samuel Coleridge-Taylor is one of this country's great classical composers and conductors. His cantata trilogy The Song of Hiawatha is considered the best adaptation of Longfellow's epic poem, and he had a celebrated career in the UK and abroad. Despite this, he died in 1912 at the age of 37, exhausted and in poverty. This was the end result of a lifetime spent resisting white supremacy that oppressed him for his Blackness.
