Barbara Beese

Barbara Beese (2 January 1946) is a British activist, writer, former member of the British Black Panthers.[1][2]

Black Panthers

Beese came to public attention in 1970 as one of the Mangrove Nine, who marched to the police station in Notting Hill, London, to protest against police raids of the Mangrove restaurant.[3] Violent clashes between the police and the Black Panther marchers led to charges and important trial that is said to have "changed racial justice in the UK forever".[4]

She contributed to Race Today on a number of topics, including education,[5]

Personal life

Beese had a relationship with fellow Black Panther Darcus Howe, with whom she also had a son, Darcus Beese.[6]
