When Stephen Lawrence was murdered in 1993 to what extent did the media or academic scholarship explore or acknowledge the grief of Doreen Lawrence and other black mothers who were once again reminded of how unworthy society perceived them and the lives of their children?
This episode led by Rayann Bryan will explore the impact of Stephen’s murder on black mothers who may have felt some proximity to the grief and anguish of Baroness Lawrence. Claire Davis and her mother talk about their experience living and growing up in Eltham where Stephen was murdered. They reflect on the racial tensions and complexities of living in the area and how Stephen's murder impacted them and the rest of the communities.
