Lord Boateng thanking the #Bristolbusboycott pioneers/legends at the Talks4Change event in #Bristol last Tuesday.
It was great to learn of the change the pioneers achieved and that this took place on the same day that Martin Luther King made that speech.

Attended event in #Bristol which celebrated 60 years of the Race Relations Act and the pioneers of the #BristolBusBoycott.
My late father started in the #railway as cleaner in Gloucester, early 1960s. Am glad to have at least some form of distant link to the boycott.

This #BlackHistoryMonth I've enjoyed checking out the entries to the #BristolBusBoycott artwork competition - these were on display at City Hall last week and many are on bus stops around Bristol.
There's also an exhibition at Sparks until 8th Nov:
