Behind the Headlines / Bristol Bus Boycott

How should we remember the Bristol Bus Boycott 60 years on?

By Mia Vines Booth  Monday Aug 21, 2023

2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the Bristol Bus Boycott.

The four month peaceful of action saw the “colour bar” lifted from public transport, and paved the way to the Race Relations Act of 1965 and 1968.

In this episode, Julz Davis, founder of Curiosity UnLtd, talks about a season of events which will commemorate the boycott.
