📅 9 August 1970 📍 United Kingdom

Black activists and supporters marched against repeated police raids on the Mangrove restaurant, an important Caribbean community meeting place. The protest defended the right to gather and organize without discriminatory policing. Arrests led to the Mangrove Nine trial, making the treatment of a neighbourhood institution a national issue in the struggle against racism in Britain.
