Two Mile Hill Primary School鈥�鈥�鈥�听听

By Martha Clarke

During Heritage Week, year five explored the question, 'How has the Windrush generation changed Bristol?' To answer, they first learned about the Windrush generation and its lasting impact on the city. We discussed the Bristol Bus Boycott and how it empowered people, leading to the 1965 change in the law. The children were empathetic and shocked by the mistreatment people faced in their own city. Julz from CuriosityUnLtd and Helen from Bauer Media Outdoor visited to share more insights and introduced a poster competition about the boycott. While all the students produced amazing work, Martha's design was chosen as the winning entry for its creativity and thoughtfulness.听

60th Bristol Bus Boycott Anniversary听听

By Gwen Balmer听听

I wanted to honour the most influential figures and groups enrolled in the first Bristol Bus Boycott by presenting their names on protest signs while making the whole piece colourful and dynamic to celebrate the progress and determination of the Black community of Bristol for the 60th anniversary. I wanted to highlight how important the bus boycotts in Bristol were for the UK as a whole. I included a painting of the specific bus in the MShed to emphasise the change that has happened with human rights and anti-discrimination for people of colour by showing the change in buses over the years.听

After Reid-Bailey, Hackett, Henry, Evans, Brown, and Stephenson听

By Amara Lawrence鈥�听听

By showing two young children playing with figurines representing the activists, I'm showing them engaging with their history through play. I'm big on sharing history in a way that doesn't create secondary trauma and I'm interested in how we can educate and practice activism in ways that support wellbeing and development - let kids be kids. There's also a nod to multiculturalism with the crayons and the figurine of Raghbir Singh figurine. I wanted to highlight how often activism benefits more than intended without taking the focus away from the Black presence.听

Impact on Workplace Equality听

By Marcia Brown听听听

My artwork was created using acrylic paints and Posca Pens. It symbolises solidarity and unity depicting people coming together to challenge racial discrimination in employment, inspired by the Bristol Bus Boycott, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King's advocacy. It honours key figures like Paul Stephenson, Roy Hackett and Norman Samuels, Bristol鈥檚 first Black bus driver. The piece captures the spirit of collective action against the colour bar rule, illustrating the power of unified efforts in driving social change and highlighting the struggle for justice and equal opportunities in the workplace, causing the Colour Bar policy to be overturned, leading to the first Race Relations Act in 1965 and laid the foundations for future acts such as the Equality Act 2010.
