Black British Civil Rights: The Fight for Equality 1820-2020

February 20, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am EST

Tony Warner author of Black History Walks Volume 1 will detail Black British Civil Rights, a US to UK timeline comparison.

The term ‘Civil Rights’ automatically triggers images of the American fight for equality and freedom even in Britain. This illustrated talk
details Black resistance against British racist oppression from; the 19th century Jamaican who tried to assassinate the British government, to the Black World War Two fighters on the frontline and in the courts, the bus boycott in England, and the law that meant you could be arrested, charged and locked up if the police, thought you might commit a crime in the future.
