Uprisings and Political Pathways

Explore the turbulent events of the 1980s. From the deaths of Blair Peach, Cynthia Jarrett, and Colin Roach, to the uprisings in Brixton and Tottenham, Black communities across the UK organised, protested, and demanded justice. We also highlight milestones like the founding of the Black Cultural Archives, the rise of Black feminist and political organising, and the election of Britain’s first Black MPs.
