Remnants of the British Black Panther’s Lost Legacy

Britain’s black power movement is at risk of being forgotten, say historians

The Cambridge academic Robin Bunce said: “There is a fundamental danger of erasing the very notion of a struggle at all. I’ve been researching this for four and a half years and there have been so many occasions when people have said to me: ‘There was no black struggle in Britain. You’re thinking of South Africa or America.’“

The narrative that feeds it is the one that Britain is the utopia of fair play. We have such a commitment to individual rights, we have such a commitment to common sense and decency that there is no systematic racism in Britain.”…

Bunce said it was not just politicians, but wider British society that would rather not dwell on the less palatable.

Braiding has deep roots in the Black community. In a piece on the history of cornrows for Ebony, hairstylist and author Toni Love discussed the ancient relationship between Black people and braids, saying “[h]istory tells us cornrows originated in Africa. The intricate braiding of the hair indicated the tribe you belonged to.” Braids were also used to display escape routes during the era of slavery, as women created maps with their cornrows.
