Hannah Catherine Jones Explores the Bernie Grant Archive

Watch our conversation with multi-instrumentalist Hannah Catherine Jones and Special Collections & Archives Manager Stef Dickers about the Bernie Grant Archive, which inspired the lunchtime concert she’ll be performing at Bishopsgate Institute.
Bernie Grant was elected to Parliament in 1987 as one of the first black MP’s in modern times. The disturbances on Broadwater Farm Estate in 1985, brought him to national prominence, as he defended the youth against police harassment.
