# Event Details - **Event Name**: Black & White Resistance in Brixton: Windrush, Squats, Uprising, Gay Lib - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 30 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Thu, 30 Apr, 2026 at 03:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: From WWII Brixton is a centre for black Britons as well as South London fairies, squatters, poets, Latin American entrepreneurs.About this EventAn innovating commercial area in the late 19th century, Brixton after World War II became a hub for arrivals of the Windrush generation. Many were initially housed in the Clapham South Deep Shelter and interviewed for jobs on Coldharbour Lane. Railton Road became an activist thoroughfare not only for Blacks but for Gays in the 1970s - South London Fairies and Gay Liberation Front. Activists like Olive Morris made squatting an act of liberation, too, living near the collective who produced Race Today - Darcus Howe, Leila Hassan and Linton Kwesi Johnson among others, supported by author and theorist of resistance CLR James.The riots of 1981 are reflected in the cityscape, and a monument in Windrush Square honours Cherry Groce, victim of police shooting in 1985. A statue of international activist Claudia Jones, publisher of The West Indian Gazette, now stands outside the Black Cultural Archives, and Commonwealth soldiers are celebrated in a war memorial designed by Jak Beula, originator of Nubian Jak blue plaques. Has Brixton been changed by housing prices and gentrification? Of course, but the story isn't so simple. Latin Americans have a stronger presence than ever along the Brixton Road, and some older businesses stay on in the market arcades. Council attempts to make a 'cultural quarter' compete with the old roughness - it really couldn't be more interesting than it is right now. The murals and street art alone are worth the walk. And the food! More options than ever, whether African, Caribbean or Rest of World - have a bite after the walk.And Ziggy is not forgotten...The Naked Anthropologist is Laura's longtime blog, now dedicated to historical walks that highlight issues of Gender, Sex and Class. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/a9c80100-257e-11f1-a591-7f7175887899-rimg-w555-h740-dc010004-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/a9f9e670-257e-11f1-8500-4f0c3b0bf48e-rimg-w493-h740-dc291e1a-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/black-and-white-resistance-in-brixton-windrush-squats-uprising-gay-lib/100001985638411942 - **Event Categories**: Art, Sports, Workshops, literary-art, Business - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fblack-white-resistance-in-brixton-windrush-squats-uprising-gay-lib-tickets-1985638411942 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.5, max: 17.5, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Pavement outside Brixton Tube Station - **lat**: 51.4624597 - **long**: -0.114788 - **full address**: Pavement outside Brixton Tube Station, Brixton Road, London, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Laura Agustín (https://allevents.in/org/laura-agustín/21984814) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/7e5338ed1a2eee7b9ace75de9410389b2bb8d083ce4fc62b8f4d79b8b2480321-rimg-w1200-h900-dcaa9273-gmir.jpg?v=1774136148 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Black+%26+White+Resistance+in+Brixton%3A+Windrush%2C+Squats%2C+Uprising%2C+Gay+Lib&date=30+Apr ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 30 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm (+01:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Pavement outside Brixton Tube Station, Brixton Road, London, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 17.5 up to 17.5 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Laura Agustín - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** Art, Sports, Workshops, literary-art, Business - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Black & White Resistance in Brixton: Windrush, Squats, Uprising, Gay Lib ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Black & White Resistance in Brixton: Windrush, Squats, Uprising, Gay Lib", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/7e5338ed1a2eee7b9ace75de9410389b2bb8d083ce4fc62b8f4d79b8b2480321-rimg-w1200-h900-dcaa9273-gmir.jpg?v=1774136148", "startDate": "2026-04-30T13:00:00+01:00", "endDate": "2026-04-30T15:30:00+01:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/black-and-white-resistance-in-brixton-windrush-squats-uprising-gay-lib/100001985638411942", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Pavement outside Brixton Tube Station", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Brixton Road", "postalCode": "SW9 8HE", "addressLocality": "London", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.4624597", "longitude": "-0.114788" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "From WWII Brixton is a centre for black Britons as well as South London fairies, squatters, poets, Latin American entrepreneurs.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-21", "availabilityEnds": "2026-04-30T15:30:00+01:00", "validFrom": "2026-03-21", "lowPrice": "17.50", "highPrice": "17.50", "price": "17.50", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/black-and-white-resistance-in-brixton-windrush-squats-uprising-gay-lib/100001985638411942" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-21", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-03-21", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/black-and-white-resistance-in-brixton-windrush-squats-uprising-gay-lib/100001985638411942", "price": "17.50", "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Laura Agustn", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/laura-agustín/21984814", "description": "Laura Agustín has been a writer, researcher and critical historian — not to say rebel —all her life. She has been a Londoner since the 1960s, although she has lived in numerous countries. Author of \nSex at the Margins: Migration, Labour Markets and the Rescue Industry\n, she has for many years focused on getting the stories out of women marginalised because of being poor, foreign, ‘different’ or doing jobs some folks think are wrong. She spends time in the Manuscript Room of the British Library looking for clues to how women lived 1000 years ago, and couldn’t stop reading even if she wanted to. She is known as \nThe Naked Anthropologist.\nShe has qualified as a tour guide in order to take this focus to the streets, where guided history walks rarely talk about the poor except as objects of charity.
