Dr. Jean Silvan Evans presents – Wales’ only Communist Mayor Annie Powell.
In 1960, she was a CPGB delegate at a major conference of Communist parties in Moscow, where she claimed to have impressed Nikita Khrushchev with her rendition of “Hen Wlad fy Nhadau”, the national anthem of Wales. Annie was a teacher, social reformer – and an arch enemy of Margaret Thatcher!
