Grieving New Cross protesters in 1981. I remember the first time I heard about the Black British Panthers. It was during a university talk about Black British civil rights movements that I learned about their existence. This group, founded in 1968, helped the Black community fight racial discrimination in jobs, housing, education, and medical and legal services.
‘Knowing that individuals from my community had made such significant contributions on the global stage, even in the face of historical adversity, was incredibly empowering and one I want to pass on to my six young children.’ Trevor Sterling, a 56-year-old from South London, says it was a moment of personal Black history that made him re-evaluate his identity.
