On this day, 9 August 1970, 150 people, including the British Black Panthers, marched on local police stations to demand an end to police raids on the Mangrove West Indian restaurant in Notting Hill, London. Nine people, including writer Darcus Howe, were arrested and charged with conspiracy to incite a riot. All were later acquitted of conspiracy charges. Home Office documents later revealed the raids were part of a plot to destroy the emerging Black power movement in the UK.
