To mark the 30th anniversary of the tragic racist murder of Stephen Lawrence on the 22 April 1993, in South East London in the UK, the SLRC have produced a podcast series in collaboration with Weyland Mckenzie-Witter to commemorate the monumental meaning and significance of this anniversary.

The SLRC opened its doors in 2019 with the intention of being a uniquely positioned physical space in the UKHE landscape to study the politics of race and racisms in its many forms and guises. The SLRC is the current home of the Stephen Lawrence Exhibition and the Stephen Lawrence Archive. The archive was kindly loaned to De Montfort University by Baroness Doreen Lawrence of Clarendon, Stephen’s mother and former Chancellor of DMU and has inspired the conversations in this series in memory of Stephen.

It is impossible to talk about race and racism in 1990s Britain without reference to the monumental impact of the Lawrence family’s fight for justice for their beloved son, and the publication of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry report, often referred to as the Macpherson Report.

Over the past 30 years, its easy to think that there is nothing more to be said about Stephen, his life and his family’s campaign for justice. However, this series of conversations have been collectively curated by the SLRC team to remind us all there is so much that has been left un-said and so much more for us to understand about the power of Stephen’s ongoing legacy.
