REEL UNITY PAIR: Becoming Black Lawyers, IS THE UK INNOCENT? Black Lives Matter

IS THE UK INNOCENT? Black Lives Matter

Black people are nine times more likely to face stop and search than white people - 18 times more likely under Section 60, where no reasonable suspicion is required. There is the endless list of deaths in police custody - where no British police officer has ever faced prosecution. Black women are twice as likely as white women, and black men are 3.3 times as likely than white men, to die from COVID-19 in the UK.

Britain was the leading slaver nation, carrying 40% of all Africans transported between 1761 and  1807.
