Front face - Through his actions WDJ Tull ridiculed the barriers of ignorance that tried to deny people of colour equality with their contemporaries. His life stands testament to a determination to confront those people and those obstacles that sought to diminish him and the world in which he lived. It reveals a man though rendered breathless in his prime, whose strong heart still beats loudly. This memorial marks an area of reflective space as a garden of remembrance.
