Talk – Summer of protest: Bengali anti-racist movement in 1978
The brutal murder of Altab Ali on 4 May 1978 was a turning point that mobilised an anti-racist movement in East London. Join Ansar Ullah as he explores what led to the summer of protests and how the Bengali community in Hackney and Tower Hamlets forged alliances with other community and political groups.
