Invigorating to talk to Leon Oldstrong @SolarisTwo & learn about new projects, like Weathering: https://t.co/wk9MgyLlIj a deeply powerful exploration of racism as experienced by a nurse & educator in the UK at the height of the pandemic after the murder of George Floyd @AJEnglish
Last week’s news of Child Q shows yet another example of the violence the state exacts on the Black community in the UK.
For every horrifying, high profile incident like this, there are hundreds of others who are suffering at the hands of racist institutions like @metpoliceuk
For many Black people in the UK, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed deep-seated racism across the country.
On the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, find out more about the experiences of Black people across British society: https://t.co/noDpYfcoIA
