Abstract
From Mozambique to Moss Side: fighting for Black Liberation
Highlights
On 3rd February 2021, I had the privilege of delving into an oral history with Lelia Hassan Howe
We explored the Black radical tradition within the UK through the work of the Race Today Collective, Creation for Liberation and some of the key Black liberation struggles of the 1970s and 80s
As a Black-British person myself, I have experienced our Eurocentric and exclusionary education system that denies us knowledge of the richness and breadth of Black radical organising in the UK. This deliberate whitewashing and omission of Black narratives from British history led to me create BLAM UK
Summary
On 3rd February 2021, I had the privilege of delving into an oral history with Lelia Hassan Howe. We explored the Black radical tradition within the UK through the work of the Race Today Collective, Creation for Liberation and some of the key Black liberation struggles of the 1970s and 80s. Leila highlighted the ongoing issue that Britain’s Black Power movement is being written out of cultural history because it does not fit into the ‘utopian’ narrative of the UK being a nation of civilised fair play.
