Today marks the 100th birthday of Malcolm X, an outstanding revolutionary within the black liberation movement. We republish here an article on his life and political evolution, which were tragically cut short by an assassin’s bullet.

For our second instalment of the series ‘Here to fight, Here to Stay!’ we go to Preston. This month marks the 60th anniversary of the Preston Red Scar Mill Strike which saw the first immigrant strike in Britain. The inspiring struggle raised many questions including if black workers should fight separately.

On the anniversary of the Bristol Bus Boycott, we present ‘Here to fight here to stay’ – a series on Britain’s anti-racist struggles. The boycott marked the first significant anti-racist victory in Britain’s post-war period, and provides crucial and inspiring lessons today.
