Was an honour to connect and partake in such a powerful event. We will not allow hatred to thrive in our communities, thank you @KingsHeathUnity 🙏🏾

Mukhtar put together a fantastic exhibition in Birmingham last year, documenting how South Asians in the 70s and 80s fought back against the racism of both street gangs and the state. He kindly allowed me to use photos from his archive for the piece.

'We stood on the shoulders of giants; we learned from them and organised to take the struggle forward. My message to young people today is that we have a legacy, a glorious history of struggle. Take that forward. Use it as a bulwark to inform you, to inspire you and to organise.'

Two months today until ‘The Shoulders We Stand On’ is published! If you feel the same way reading this book as I did when researching it, then you will come away feeling hopeful and fired up. Knowing that together we can make a positive change is a much needed lifeline right now.
