“Scientology is about fighting for human rights,” says British civil rights icon

Mr. Clarence Thompson, born in Trinidad, is a social scientist, business teacher and chairman of the West Indian Standing Conference, formed in 1958 as a consequence of the Notting Hill Riots and racial killing. Receiving the MBE in 1965 for his work to further race relations in the United Kingdom, Mr. Thompson’s decades of activism and leadership have bridged the gap between the UK white community and the African heritage community, with today’s Commission for Equality and Human Rights evolving from that work.

Mr. Thompson observes that L. Ron Hubbard’s “perception of the world was about equality and about fair play and human rights and dignity” and he values the camaraderie and friendship of Scientologists who are putting action to those beliefs.
