Episode 91: How should we remember the Bristol Bus Boycott?
2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the Bristol Bus Boycott which saw the “colour bar” lifted from public transport after months of peaceful action and paved the way to the Race Relations Act of 1965 and 1968.
In this episode, Reporter Mia Vines Booth speaks to Julz Davis, founder of Curiosity UnLtd, about his season of events which will commemorate the boycott.
We ask: 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?
