Dr Harold Moody and the 1930s UK civil rights movement
Wednesday, 21 April, 2021
Kit is joined by Stephen Bourne, a historian of Black British history, to discuss Dr Harold Moody and his creation of the League of Coloured Peoples. The League was a British civil rights organisation founded in London in 1931. Dr Moody, the League's creator, had arrived in the UK from Jamaica thirty years before to study medicine at King's College London. Dr Moody founded the League to push for racial equality and civil rights in the UK and is, therefore, an integral figure in 20th-century British history.
