Amelia King (1917–1995) was a British woman who was refused entry into the Women's Land Army, during World War II, because she was black. This example of racial segregation in the UK was debated in the House of Commons and was covered in newspapers internationally including The Chicago Defender. The decision would eventually be reversed. The refusal was reversed and King was able to formally join the Women's Land Army in October 1943. She worked at Frith Farm in Fareham, Hampshire until 1944. King died at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel in 1995, aged 78.
