For anyone watching #Defiance on @Channel4 by @RoganProduction@RajeshThind, here’s a 🧵of some context to understand the groups and events mentioned in more detail and what life was like for Brown and Black people in the 1960s-1980s.

If anyone knows whether mainstream politicians are using the language & polices of the far right it’s @SGroverSouthall .
He’s been campaigning for the human rights of people of colour for almost 50 years as director of @MonitoringGroup
I was thrilled to have him @LBC

'They use the same kind of language the far-right used in the 1970s.'
@MonitoringGroup's Suresh Grover would like to celebrate people of colour achieving positions of power, but is 'horrified' by the rhetoric of Priti Patel and Suella Braverman on migrants.

#Defiance tells a powerful story of South Asian resistance movements from the 1970s and 80s. This history is not commonly told - it should be on the curriculum.
Through #OurMigrationStory we produced some resources on this, find them here 👉 ow.ly/FbCv50RcYa3

At a time when so many need reminding of the contemporary purpose, function and importance of public service broadcasting/television, @RoganProduction have produced a vital documentary of an untold part of British history. #Defiance
Absolutely blown away by #defiance
From the titles to the archival footage and the incredible contributors, it's an excellent piece of television - essential viewing, telling a history that needs to be told. Congratulations @RoganProduction@RajeshThind and all involved
What an incredible series. Hard to watch, growing up in this era and seeing the attitudes of people in power.
We stand on the shoulders of those who go before us, and for that I’m humbled and grateful. Bravo @RoganProduction and all involved. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #Defiance
#Defiance was a tough but educative watch.
Seeing South Asians fight such overt horrific racism in 70s/80s, is something I felt in my bones.
(Esp with todays similarities)
Their defiance bravely paved the way
Thank you @RoganProduction@RajeshThind.
