On the 28th September 1985 Cherry was shot in her home by the Metropolitan Police. The shooting of an innocent Mother sparked the Brixton uprising.

Dorothy "Cherry" Groce was shot by police officers in 1985 paralysing her from the chest down sparking Riots in Brixton; 4 years after the Brixton riots of 1981. Her son @MrLeeLawrence alongside @TheVoiceNews pay tribute her life. I'm so honoured to be hosting this panel ❤️
