Description: | This pamphlet was published in 1979 to chronicle the events in the Brick Lane area in 1978. By the late 1970s, Brick Lane had become the centre of London?s Bangladeshi community. Racial tensions and violence rapidly increased, culminating in the murder of Altab Ali, a Bangladeshi garment worker in 1978. The Bangladeshi community, supported by anti-racist and left-wing groups, began a campaign against racism in response to the murder. This booklet was released by some of those involved in the campaign, and is dedicated to Blair Peach, an East London teacher killed whilst on an anti-racist demonstration in Southall in 1979. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Unknown Copyright | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Communities Power and Politics | Temporal: | 1979 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
