On this day, 26 June 1952, Black feminist and squatting activist, Olive Morris was born. She was a founding member of the Organisation of Women of African and Asian Descent (OWAAD) in London, established the Brixton Black Women’s Group, was a member of the British Black Panther Movement, and helped found the Manchester Black Women’s Cooperative and Manchester Black Women’s Mutual Aid Group. She was one of the first to squat at 121 Railton Road, Brixton London, an address which subsequently housed a range of community and political groups until the 1990s.
