May 25, 2020. George Floyd's death shook the world. Protests in every country. A promise of change for all. But 6 years later — what has actually changed? Just last week in Dublin, Ireland Yves Sakila met his death under similar restraint from security guards. George Floyd’s family says ‘Not enough has changed’. His aunt Angela Harrelson said it best: "When we get to the point where we don't have to say the words Black Lives Matter — that's when we know we have arrived." What are your thoughts? Drop a comment. 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 #georgefloyd #blacklivesmatter

Rest in Peace Gilbert Clarke. Thank you for your service 🙏🏾

The scurrilous campaign against Misan Harriman is still in full swing. Hounded for stating a factual truth which did not fit the media narrative. I stand with Misan. The campaign to sack Misan Harriman is part of an assault on black figures in public life theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Toni Morrison was never just an American writer. Her work challenged the world to confront memory, race, silence and power — and continues to shape conversations far beyond the United States.

Some books entertain. Others force a nation to look in the mirror. From The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano to Natives by Akala, these powerful works challenged Britain’s understanding of race, empire, identity and belonging — and changed the conversation forever. blackhistorymonth.org.uk/article/sectio… #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryMonth #Books #BritishHistory #Literature #Reading #BlackBritishHistory

Father pays tribute to daughters recovered from the sea off Brighton beach Sussex Police are keen to here from anyone who may have seen the three women around the Madeira Drive area near Brighton Beach By @S_Fleary1 voice-online.co.uk/news/uk-news/2…

Horrifying to watch the gleeful violence inflicted on Global Sumud Flotilla activists at the behest of Israel's National Security minister. It's not enough to condemn & sanction him. We must impose sanctions on this government and stop arming it.

Remembering TYRONE DOWNIE — one of the most influential keyboardists in the history of reggae music, a quiet genius whose elegant playing, melodic sensitivity,& deep musical intuition helped shape the golden sound of Bob Marley & The Wailers and countless other Jamaican classics.

Rail, mail, water, energy. These are not just industries; they are lifelines. Our essential services should never have been handed over to shareholders. It's long past time we took them back.

Benjamin Zephaniah turned pain into purpose. From a troubled youth shaped by violence to becoming a poet, activist and voice for justice, his journey showed that change is always possible. He chose words over anger — and inspired generations. #BenjaminZephaniah
