Plaques, vigil and march
A plaque-unveiling ceremony, a vigil of remembrance and a march for unity were
among the events to have taken place recently to mark the 40th anniversary of the
1979 Southall riot. The Southall Rising exhibition, which we reported on previously,
opened at the Dominion Centre on 23 April – the exact anniversary of the events
that unfolded in 1979 – and is open to visitors. Three commemorative plaques
have been put up at Southall Town Hall. One commemorates teacher Blair Peach
who died during the riot, another is for local band Misty Roots whose manager was
badly beaten, and the third to Gurdip Singh Chaggar who was killed in an earlier
racist attack. Read more at ealingnewsextra.co.uk/features/anniversary-riot
