| 説明 | Document: Photograph of Barbara Beese, August 9th 1970. Catalogue ref: MEPO 31/21Description:This is a photograph of activist Barbara Beese during the ‘Mangrove Nine’ protest.On 9 August 1970, a group of British Black Power members, including Beese, led 150 people on a march against police harassment of the Black community in Notting Hill, London. They called for the ‘end of the persecution of the Mangrove Restaurant’. Between January 1969 and July 1970, the police had raided the Mangrove Restaurant twelve times. No evidence of illegal activity was found during these raids.Nine people were arrested during the protest and were put on trial. Beese was one of them. They became known as the ‘Mangrove Nine’. When all nine defendants were acquitted of the most serious charges after a long 55-day trial, it was widely recognised as a moment of victory for Black protest.With this document, students could consider:- What does this photograph tell you about Barbara Beese?- What does this photograph tell you about the protest she was a part of?- Who do you think took this photograph (consider why The National Archives might have it) and why do you think it was taken?- How useful is this photograph as a source to understand the Mangrove Nine protest and the British Black Power movement?Learn more in our 'Mangrove Nine protest' lesson resource: www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/mangrove-... |
