Bristol Bus Boycott
How a protest by pioneering black activists in 1963 led to Britain's first anti-racism laws.
In 1963, a small group of black activists in Bristol in the UK started a pioneering protest against racism by the local bus company, which had specified that they did not want to employ black drivers. Inspired by the example of Martin Luther King, the boycott ended in victory and led to the passage of Britain's first anti-discrimination laws.
Paul Stephenson talks about his part in the protest.
