Bristol Bus Boycott

[_pH_]

I'm sure I saw something on it there - but then the last time I went to M Shed I was ill and killing time before meeting my g/f for lunch so wasn't really concentrating on what I was looking at.

Was in M Shed again at the weekend (for the Taylor Wessing thing - that's worth a look) and there IS a bit on the boycott - on the 1st floor.

How the Bristol bus boycott changed UK civil rights

How the Bristol Bus Boycott is being turned into a musical for the very first time

Lest We Forget​

I was only very young when this happened, and I never got to ask my father about it. He was about as un-racist as you can get, as well as a strong trade unionist.

I do hope that this has gone well:

It's tomorrow.

It's tomorrow.

Sincerest apologies for this mistake.

I hope it has enabled more locals to come out and give this civil rights hero the send-off he deserves as he crosses to join the ancestors.

I have no doubt the Bristol community will be out in force, especially the Jamaican community. It will stop traffic for sure.
