News Hour | Race Report: Does the race report allow racists to flourish? with Denise Headley | 300 years of the British PM
Doreen Lawrence, who campaigned for 18 years for justice after her son Stephen was murdered by racists, has said a government-commissioned report that claimed the UK no longer had a system rigged against minorities could allow racism to flourish. “My son was murdered because of racism and you cannot forget that. Once you start covering it up it is giving the green light to racists. You imagine what’s going to happen come tomorrow. What’s going to happen on our streets with our young people? You are giving racists the green light,” Lady Lawrence said. Does the race report allow racists to flourish, and give them the green light? How significant are Doreen Lawrence's comments?
