25: The Murder of Stephen Lawrence

This week we are exploring the racist murder of 18 year old Stephen Lawrence in London in April 1993. This case dominated headlines throughout the 1990s and well into the 2000s, as it brought the institutional racism at the heart of London’s Metropolitan Police into the spotlight and led to a huge investigation into police conduct.
