How are people allowed to be remembered in history? Who decides which stories are told? How can the story of a man who helped pass the UK's first law to end racial discrimination be so little known outside Bristol? In this episode of Colouring in Britain, Tomi Dixon travels to St Pauls in Bristol to understand the story of civil rights activist Paul Stephenson. Paul led the first major Black civil rights movement against racism in the 1960s, drawing inspiration from Martin Luther King's struggle in the United States. He challenged the discriminatory 'colour bar' in Bristol and brought people together to demand change across Britain. This episode includes strong language and deals with issues of racism.
