When #MegumiMesaku or better known as #Missmegoo takes to the stage for a second time and covers a Bob Marley classic you can only expect it to be a moment #Brixton #Brixwave18

@JUDYBEST_SW16 "That play we saw by @HebeFoundation, that was my childhood. I saw the signs - No Blacks No Dogs No Irish - so there is a lesson today that we must continue to honour our history and move forward collectively not in a way that is fragmented."

"When we do a roll call to show appreciation for the greats that have gone before us, and we follow it with 'And many more' that means there is room for us to contribute to history ... that's why Toussaint's L'Ouverture means 'The Opening'"

[Brixton Wave @BrixWave]

@PoetryLawyer just reminded us that in #Brixton we don't do it in the usual way.
Most people will say "Come in Peace". But in Brixton we "Stay in peace" #RemembranceDay #Brixwave18 @DN_Brixton

We said she would be here and here she is. #megumimesaku gets her performance started with a saxaphonic cover of a real classic. #Brixwave18 #Brixton

"You've got London, Paris, Hong Kong and then #Brixton."
"Remember in 1996, Nelson Mandela made the point of coming here to celebrate this great #community and recognising the valiant work of Brixtonians in creating social change in the UK.

Well said Ros ... well said

Ros Griffiths: "We must celebrate what Brixton was, is and will be because it's not how you start the race but it's how you finish it."
