workingclasshistory:

On this day, 6 October 1985, Tottenham, London went up in flames as residents of the Broadwater Farm estate rose up against police after the death of Cynthia Jarrett, an African-Caribbean mother during a police search of her home: only days after police shot Dorothy Groce in Brixton. Police then tried to frame several Black men and boys for the killing of a police officer during the disturbances, and three were jailed for several years until being released on appeal.
