Black People’s Day Of Action
2nd March 1981: Grieving protesters march from New Cross to the House of Commons under a banner proclaiming the Black People's Day of Action, after 13 black people were killed in the New Cross house fire of 18th January 1981. The fire aroused anger within the local community with allegations of a police cover-up of a racial attack. 20,000 people marched in the protest organised by the New Cross Massacre Action Committee (NCMAC).
