Description
A white man appears to talk to a young black man. A sign, propped up near a storefront, warns of a coming race riot from Brixton's black community. Another sign, taped to the side of a vehicle, declares, "The colored invasion harms all races" and invites viewers to join in fighting "this menace." The clip ends with several white and black men talking to one another.During the summer of 1958, racial tensions rose between the white community and the Afro-Jamaican and West Indian community, many of whom lived in the south London area of Brixton. The violence that broke out in August became known as the Notting Hill race riots.Title supplied by cataloger.Clip number: wsbn33553
