31 Days Of Black British History Day Twenty Five: The Stephen Lawrence Inquiry

The video discusses the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry, a pivotal moment in British history. Stephen Lawrence, an 18-year-old, was murdered in a racist attack in 1993. The initial police investigation failed, leading to a public inquiry led by Sir William McPherson. The McPherson Report, published in 1999, highlighted professional incompetence and institutional racism within the police. This led to significant changes in law, policing, and public awareness about institutional racism. Stephen's legacy continues to inspire the fight against racism and injustice.
