Black history doesn’t begin or end with one nation—it’s a global story of resilience and resistance.
In this episode of Black Washed History, we travel to 1970s Notting Hill, where a small Caribbean restaurant called The Mangrove became the frontline of Britain’s civil rights movement.

Twelve police raids.
Nine activists.
One trial that changed the course of British justice.

Discover how Frank Crichlow, Altheia Jones-LeCointe, Darcus Howe, Barbara Beese, and others transformed a courtroom into a battleground for truth — forcing the British legal system to confront its own racial bias for the first time.

🎙️ Black Washed History is where we reclaim, retell, and rebuild the narratives history tried to erase.
