Welcome to Episode Forty One of Do You Dare?
And this February is black history month so all we will be spending this month highlighting cases of people of colour that are so often overlooked or neglected by police and the media.
Tune in this week as we kicks off Black history month with a tragic case that left a promising 18yr old boy the victim of a horrific hate crime.
(Trigger warnings: Discussions of Racism and Racial Attacks.)
In this episode Em delves into the horrific murder of Stephen Lawrence at the hands of a group of men in an unprovoked, racially motivated assault.
Follow along with us as we not only look into the crime itself but the way Stephen’s case changed UK law, exposed policing standards and left a legacy that continues to grow with each passing year as his family continues to fight for not only Stephen’s memory but to get him the full justice he deserves.
