Today marks the anniversary of the start of the Bristol Bus Boycott.

61 years ago, elders in our community fought against racial discrimination and paved the way for the UK’s Race Relations Acts of 1965 & 1968.

The courage & power they showed will inspire us today and always 👊🏿

Catherine Owen Dr Emma Rawlings Smith David Preece Alistair Hamill Mary Myatt You did ask, so don't blame me - a bit of a thread coming up. I was comparing the 2 docs - GA and QAA side by side.
