This is really really sad man 😢💔

Such an important cultural hub in Brixton…. I’ve watched so many of my favourite places I’ve DJd at disappear.

We need to have a conversation on what Cultural Protection means and looks like in London.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

The Battle of Bamber Bridge, 1943.

Racist US military police attacked black US troops on British soil.

US military authorities demanded the town’s pubs impose a colour bar, the local landlords responded with signs that read “Black Troops Only” which pissed them off.
