Day 22: The Race Relations Act 1965 - Britain's First Anti-Discrimination Law

The Race Relations Act 1965 was a groundbreaking moment in British legal history, marking the UK’s first steps toward tackling racial discrimination. This legislation was a direct response to the growing demands for racial equality from the Black British community and the wider African and Caribbean diaspora. In this episode of 31 Days of Black British History, we explore: The first law of its kind – Britain’s first legislation addressing racial discrimination. Its limitations – It only applied to public spaces, excluding housing and employment. Enforcement – The creation of the Race Relations Board to investigate complaints. Though far from perfect, the Act laid the foundation for future civil rights protections and fueled the fight against institutional racism in the UK. Tune in to uncover how this pivotal moment shaped Black British history and the ongoing struggle for equality. We aren't backed by a publishing house, advertising partners or a major enterprise.
