Today, April 22 is Stephen Lawrence Day.🖤

33 years ago in 1993, Stephen at just 18 years was stabbed to death in a racist attack in Eltham, south east London. 🙏🏾

Today, we reflect on this death but more importantly we stand with his family and the Stephen Lawrence foundation to help build in his name for future generations.

As @sldayfdn have stated, this years theme is Every Future Needs a Foundation - to support young people and their ambitions.

Please support the Stephen Lawrence Foundation and their plans however you can.
