To commemorate Stephen Lawrence Day, we present a visual lecture on the Black British Civil Rights Movement by author Danny Thompson.
Join us in commemorating Stephen Lawrence Day with an enlightening and powerful visual lecture on The Black British Civil Rights Movement.
Led by author and Black historian Danny Thompson, this event takes you on a compelling journey through the history of Black activism in Britain – from the arrival of the Windrush generation in 1948 to the present day.
Through a rich collection of archival images, stories, and historical insights, we will explore the tireless efforts of Black activists, grassroots organisations and community leaders who have fought for racial justice, equal rights and social change in Britain.
