Guy was disappointed by the lack of support for Black students and the failure to Biography teach history from a Black Guy Reid-Bailey at the Bristol West Indian Cricket Club’s ground perspective. Guy had to teach himself Photo by Paul Bullivant and Tony Gill about important Black heroes like Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King and Mary Seacole. Guy’s first job was at a uniform factory called Huggins & Co in Newfoundland Road. In 1963 he applied to become a conductor with Bristol Omnibus Company but was refused an interview because he was Black. This sparked off the famous Bristol Bus Boycott, which was supported by the local African-Caribbean community, Bristol University students and Bristol East MP Tony Benn. Their campaign was successful and the bus company was forced to employ Black people. In 1964, Guy and others established the Bristol West Indian Cricket Club in Whitehall, which is now known as the Rose Green Centre. The club plays an important role in the social life of the African-Caribbean community and has a focus on developing young people. Guy remembers that in the early days, it was very difficult because many white clubs did not want to play Black teams.

  • The Transnational Life of Paul Stephenson
    Individual Life A Black Englishman in the Heart of the Confederacy: The Transnational Life of Paul Stephenson Nick Juravich n a crisp Sunday morning in October 1964, Paul Stephenson arrived in ORichmond, Virginia. The 27-year-old veteran of the Royal Air Force was enjoying his first tour of the United States, which had already taken him to New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. Upon reaching the former capital of the Confederacy, he headed for the largest and finest hotel in the state, the Hotel John Marshall, where his hosts had booked him a room. The John Marshall’s lobby was packed with guests dressed in their Sunday best, perhaps part of a conference or convention. Conversation hummed gaily, but as Stephenson made his way through the crowd, he noticed an “eerie silence” descending. By the time he reached the reception desk, “everyone was glaring and staring” at him. The noise had died down to the point that all assembled heard him ask the receptionist if she had a room for Mr. Stephenson from England. After checking the ledger, she replied, “We have a reservation for Mr. Stephenson from England, but he hasn’t arrived yet.” With all eyes on him, Stephenson replied calmly and pleasantly that he, in fact, was Mr. Stephenson from England. Despite his accent, the receptionist responded incredulously. “You’re the Englishman?” In “total silence,” Stephenson asserted, again, that he was, which left her momentarily dumbfounded. For though he dressed smartly, spoke the Queen’s English, and claimed a reservation in his name, Paul Stephenson’s skin was black, and no black man had ever stayed at the Hotel John Marshall without the accompaniment of a white master.

The analysis presented here are based on interviews that I had with six artist s based in Bristol – Michele Curtis, Valda Jackson, Stacy Olika , thanks to Dr Shawn Sobers , in July 2018 , and in Marseille – Badr El Hammami, Dalila Mahdjoub and Toufik Medjamia – between October 2018 and July 2019. This will be completed by other case stu dies based on interviews already produced and interviews with other artists in Bristol especially, as well as with association leaders. While contextualizing the projects within presentations that recall the debates on heritage in Britain or France, the report broaches the case studies in providing a raw archival material. The oral archives result from interview methods that are both semi -open and follow a recurring pattern where the contexts, motivations, perspectives on colonial history are each time recollected.

  • Bristol Bus Boycott) 2
    Black History Month I have been particularly inspired by these three people: 1. Paul Stephenson (Bristol Bus boycott) 2. Roland Butcher (Middlesex and England cricketer) 3. Viv Anderson (Nottingham Forest and England footballer) 1. Paul Stephenson OBE I only became aware of Paul Stephenson recently, when, in the aftermath of the fall of the statue of Colston in Bristol, there was wider ranging media discussion over the city of Bristol, and one of the stories that came to my attention was the Bristol bus protests of 1963. The Bristol Bus company had previously refused to employ workers of black or ethnic minority backgrounds, and when the boycott gained momentum, the company was forced to drop the so called ‘colour bar’. This helped me to understand that the story of Rosa Parks could just as easily have taken place in this country, and only 9 years before I was born. Several members of the city's West Indian community had set up an organisation, the West Indian Development Council, to fight discrimination of this sort, aided by Stephenson, who was the city's first black youth officer. In 1963 Stephenson established that the bus company was indeed operating a colour bar and inspired by the example of Rosa Parks' refusal to move off a "whites only" bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama, leading to the Montgomery bus boycott, a Bristol Bus Boycott was organised. As an articulate and university educated person, Stephenson became spokesman for the boycott, which soon attracted nationwide media interest and the campaign grew to receive support from Bristolians of all colours, Tony Benn, MP for Bristol East, and Harold Wilson, leader of the Labour opposition.

The Cross-National Diffusion of the American Civil Rights Movement: The Examp... 1 The Cross-National Diffusion of the American Civil Rights Movement: The Example of the Bristol Bus Boycott of 1963 Claire Mansour “When someone demonstrates that people are not powerless, they may begin to act again.” British Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm. 1 When a group of people manages to induce institutional change to achieve their aims through the successful staging of a protest movement it generally convinces other groups of people to do the same. This process of social mimicry is linked to the concept of “diffusion” which is one of the basic tenets of sociology. In 1968, Elihu Katz broadly defined “diffusion” as: […] the acceptance of some specific item, over time, by adopting units — individuals, groups, communities — that are linked both to external channels of communication and to each other by means of both a structure of social relations and a system of values, or culture (Katz, 78).

Key words Take 2 topic lessons to Discrimination do the tasks on these Segregation slides. In the early 1900’s, segregation in the southern states of the USA meant that white and black people were separated from each other. Black and white people had separate sections of the buses and restaurants that they were allowed to sit in, and even different churches that they could attend. They were also not allowed to vote and didn’t have the same equal standard of education as the white people. Many white people in the southern states were racist and didn’t feel as though black people should have equal rights. Even though slavery had ended in 1863, many white people continued to discriminate against black people and treated them badly.
