Britain's black power movement
Mangrove Nine: the court challenge against police racism in Notting Hill
https://www.theguardian.com/law/2010/nov/29/
In 1970, a group of black radicals were committed to stand trial on charges arising from violent clashes between the police during a protest march.
From the outset, this was a political trial in which the police, Special Branch and the Home Office sought to discredit the leadership of the growing British black power movement.
After 55 days at the Old Bailey, the Mangrove Nine were acquitted and forced the first judicial acknowledgment that there was "evidence of racial hatred" in the Metropolitan police.
The nine's campaign was part of a campaign to defend Notting Hill's black community from police racism.
At the end of the 1960s, Frank Crichlow's Mangrove restaurant became the beating heart of the area's West Indian community.
At the same time, "the heavy mob", a group of officers who patrolled the community like a colonial army, began a campaign to close the Mangrove, raiding the restaurant 12 times between January 1969 and July 1970.
The police stuck to the story that the Mangrove was a drugs den, despite the fact that their repeated raids yielded not a shred of evidence.

Racism Charges Put a Sport on Edge
December 21, 2011 The New York Times By JERÉ LONGMAN
John Terry, captain of
England’s national soccer team and the powerful club Chelsea, faces a criminal
charge over accusations that he made a racial slur during an October match,
apparently becoming the first player to be prosecuted for remarks said on the
field. Rob Hughes contributed reporting from London. Racism Charges Put a Sport on Edge, NYT, 21.12.2011, https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/22/ sports/soccer/in-england-star-players-accused-of-racist-comments.html

Enoch Powell dismissed for 'racialist' speech
From the Guardian archive
Monday April 22, 1968 Guardian Ian Aitken
Mr Heath last night dismissed Mr Enoch Powell from the Shadow Cabinet. It became clear that the members of Mr Heath's Shadow Cabinet were unanimous that Mr Powell would have to go. Several Front Bench members let it be known that they would resign if Mr Powell remained. Two of the leading figures in the drama appear to have been Mr Maudling, deputy leader of the party, and Mr Hogg, chief home affairs spokesman. Both are understood to have been appalled by Mr Powell's inflammatory speech.
Certainly there were intensive consultations
between members of the Shadow Cabinet and between many of them and Mr Heath. By
the end of the afternoon it must have been apparent that Mr Heath would receive
the full support of his colleagues if he dismissed Mr Powell. It was emphasised,
however, that the decision to dismiss Mr Powell belonged to Mr Heath personally.
He appears to have spent most of the day at Broadstairs brooding on the
situation created by Mr Powell's highly emotive speech on the Race elations
Bill, and to have telephoned Mr Powell at Wolverhampton at about 9pm.
