Behind the Headlines / Bristol Bus Boycott
How should we remember the Bristol Bus Boycott 60 years on?
2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the Bristol Bus Boycott.
The four month peaceful of action saw the “colour bar” lifted from public transport, and paved the way to the Race Relations Act of 1965 and 1968.
In this episode, Julz Davis, founder of Curiosity UnLtd, talks about a season of events which will commemorate the boycott.
How should we remember the boycott, how should we honour the legacy of those that took part and what work still needs to be done to make Bristol a city of racial equality today?
