The following material concerns the work of the Black Parents Movement, which ran from 20 Apr 1975 and was most active until the mid 1980s. The Movement can be seen as an extension of the Black Education Movement and was formed after struggles by black people in Britain during the late 1960s-1974 over issues of education, police, housing and unemployment in which its founding members had participated. Such issues continued to be the focus of Black Parents Movement activity, with members participating in a large number of campaigns and legal cases, together with international political activity, especially in Grenada and Guyana.
