Riverdale Records: We marched to parliament

New Cross 1980s where there was a fear of the police and the Black community had difficult relationships with the police – some were anti-black.

We came away from that time with traumatic memories 

After the New Cross fire, 14 lost their lives in a suspected attack. We marched to parliament; the march was led by Darcus Howe. There were many people who came together at the time.
