Content warning: May contain examples of extreme racist violence and language.
In part two of the first episode, the conversation continues with Professor Gus John and Dr Adam Elliot Cooper joining SLRC Legacy In Action research fellow, Dr Fatima Rajina, to discuss the way Stephen Lawrence’s death stirred the nation in a way that changed the entire landscape of conversations around race relations throughout the 1990s. The most intriguing aspect of it all was how it was covered in the media, primarily print media. The discussion for this podcast focuses in on different clippings from the newspapers that covered the trial and the family in this decade.
