VIRTUAL: Darcus Howe: a talk by Leila Hassan-Howe

This event is organised by Black History Walks in collaboration with UCL's Sarah Parker Remond Centre

Darcus Howe is a legend in Black British history. He was a key figure in many major movements from the Black Panthers, to the Mangrove 9, to Bangladeshi housing, the Black Peoples Day of Action, the Brixton uprisings and changing the face of British TV with the Bandung File and Devil's Advocate.

In this talk we will cover his background, influences, legacy and some of the many campaigns he was involved in.
