History
There is fury at a lack of compassion shown by the authorities to the victims of the New Cross Fire. Many are convinced it was a racist firebombing and accuse the police of failing to investigate properly. Thousands of people from across the country descend on London for a march to demand justice. Organisers say more than 20,000 people take part in the Black People’s Day of Action - at the time the biggest ever protest led by black people in the UK. This podcast includes strong language, use of racist terms and descriptions of violence. ==================== Credits Presenter: Big Narstie Producers: Helen Clifton and Ingrid Kelly Editor: Gail Champion Sound Design: Wayne Parkes and Sam Turner Additional production: Jane Andrews and Annabel Deas Research: Derrick Bennett and Imogen Rhodes With thanks to Paul Field Dramatisation By Roy Williams Tony Cealy played by Sheyi Cole Produced by Lorna Newman and Simon Highfield Series Producer: Ben Robinson Series Editor: Gail Champion
