‘In a civilised society, the majority view will prevail. Some people must learn how things are done.’

My question is How much has really changed?

50 years ago this week, South Asians at Leicester's Imperial Typewriters factory went on strike to demand respect and dignity at work — confronting the racism of their bosses and the unions that failed to support them.

Upmost respect to the Uncles of today, the real community heavyweights of that past era who mobilised, resisted, defied and fought back the violent and systemic racism from the streets #Defiance

[Sharon Jagdev Powell @SJagdevPowell]

@darshnasoni @RoganProduction Yes, but sadly it was quite normal at the time… as was being stared at and spat at. Some things have been buried away in my memory and were probably best left there #defiance

Hey friends 📚
I'm thrilled to share that my book 'If I Were A Racist’ will be released on the 30th April 2024, and is now available to pre-order! It's a reflection on music education and how racism manifests in teaching and learning.
