Lanre Bakare: We Were There

In the 1980s, Britain was in turmoil. With anti-immigration policies in the political mainstream, Black lives were on the frontline of a racial reckoning. It was also a time of unrivalled Black cultural creation, organising and resistance – not just in London but across the UK. Join Sheffield writer Désirée Reynolds for a conversation with Lanre Bakare about We Were There, a compelling portrait of modern Britain that weaves Black stories far away from the capital into our national narrative.
