"Black history is British history and this book not only tells the story of another Black person, but also highlights the success of an individual who came to Britain in the 1960s and lived a successful life."
I review Baroness @FloellaBenjamin's book

Such a great evening, thoroughly enjoyed @marcusryder & @LennyHenry. Great to attend #BBLM book launch – excited to see it succeed over the next coming months.

The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust was the original charity set up in Stephen’s name. The Lawrence family are no longer associated with this organisation. Doreen Lawrence & family have set up a new foundation.

I've met @LondonFire & @LondonFBU. I am reassured race played no part in their response to the Grenfell Tower fire. Learning about the conditions firefighters faced that night has been insightful, apologies for any upset caused. I'm confident how valued equality is to LFB & FBU

[Doreen Lawrence OBE @DLawrenceOBE]

2/2 My call to them was to make Stephen Lawrence Day an international event. It is extremely inspiring to hear their ideas and opinions. Speaking to them fills me with such hope for the future.
