Black British Lives Matter is a clarion call for equality, from nineteen of the most prominent Black figures in Britain today. Here, Lenny Henry and Marcus Ryder introduce an essential collection of essays arguing how and why we need to fight for Black lives to matter -- not just for Black people, but for British society as a whole. Contributors include Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon, named the most influential woman in UK technology in 2020; world-famous architect Sir David Adjaye; leading historian David Olusoga; Professor Kehinde Andrews, founder of the first-ever Black Studies degree in Europe; award-winning author Kit de Waal; Baroness Doreen Lawrence, social campaigner and mother of the murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence; and Leroy Logan, the pioneering former Metropolitan Police superintendent. Writing across a wide range of subjects, and drawing on personal experience, all nineteen writers explore the unique contributions, perspectives and importance of Black Britons to the United Kingdom and beyond. The end result is both a celebration of Black British lives and an urgent, agenda-setting manifesto for change. -- Dust jacket
