A history by late great Darcus Howe of the interaction of Black people and the state on the streets of Britain.
Originally published in 1988, it provides the context to the urban rebellions following the Brixton Uprising of 1981. ❤️💚🖤

On this day, April 8, 1968, just days after my father’s assassination and the day before his funeral, my mother returned to Memphis to continue the work.
My mother was a woman of tremendous strength. In the midst of unimaginable grief, she went back to the very place where he was taken from us and led the Memorial March with sanitation workers.
She did not allow sorrow to silence her. She moved forward with courage, conviction, and an unwavering commitment to justice.
With my siblings by her side, she led that march not only in honor of my father, but in solidarity with workers fighting for dignity and fair treatment.
She showed the world that the work was bigger than any one person, and that love, discipline, and purpose must carry us forward, even in our most painful moments.

Sixty-nine years ago today, the Montgomery Bus Boycott ended—but its legacy endures.
It remains a masterclass in disciplined, strategic, nonviolent action, reminding us that real change requires collective sacrifice, clarity, and moral courage.
