We have three images from the Bristol Bus Boycott campaign.
The Bristol Bus Boycott of 1963 arose from the refusal of the Bristol Omnibus Company to employ Black or Asian bus crews in the city of Bristol. The campaign was led by youth worker Paul Stephenson and the West Indian Development Council. The boycott of the company’s buses by Bristolians lasted for four months until the company backed down and overturned the colour bar.
Our photographs and images feature local protests and the leaders of the campaign.
