Maisie Richardson-Sellers Instagram – Notting Hill Carnivaaal 🇬🇾💦🇬🇾 58 years of joy as resistance, community as strength.
However the media tries to report it, Notting Hill Carnival remains a vibrant celebration rooted in a history of resistance. It began in response to white supremacist riots in Notting Hill in 1958 and the 1959 racially motivated murder of Kelso Cochrane, a young Antiguan man.
Claudia Jones, Rhaune Laslett and fellow activists laid the groundwork for what would become the Notting Hill Carnival, transforming tragedy into a powerful celebration of life and Caribbean culture. 🖤 | Posted on 27/Aug/2024 02:32:13
