Magnum Photosさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Magnum PhotosInstagram)「"These pictures and the events of 1979 are very, very pivotal to our own history of the Asian, the black, the brown — the history of people of colour across the country.” - Suresh Grover, Monitoring Group . On April 23, 1979, the far-right National Front (NF) party held a meeting at the town hall in Southall, an area of suburban London with a large South Asian population. The party had, for some time, been organizing activities in areas with large ethnic minority populations in order to gain publicity for their campaigns. A demonstration against the NF took place in Southall involving local activists, community members, and anti-racist groups from across London. . A large number of police were ordered to the area in order to contain protestors, who the authorities feared would incite violence. In the clashes that followed between 3,000 protestors and 2,800 police officers, hundreds of arrests were made, and 64 members of the public were reported injured. One man, a left-wing activist and teacher named Blair Peach, died of a fatal head injury during the clashes. . 40 years on, we speak to activists Suresh Grover and Jagdish Patel about their memories of April 1979, recognizing fellow community members in the photos, and the affirmative role that photography can play in how history is recorded.
