By Ashley John-Baptiste

MANGROVE NINE

DARCUS HOWE

Darcus Howe
British broadcaster
26 Feb 1943 - 1 Apr 2017

Darcus Howe was one of the key figures in the Mangrove Nine trial. He came to public attention in 1970 as one of the "Mangrove Nine", who marched to the police station in Notting Hill, London, to protest against police raids of the Mangrove restaurant, and again in 1981 when he organised a 20,000-strong "Black People's Day of Action" in protest at the handling of the investigation into the New Cross Fire, in which 13 black teenagers died.

BARBARA BEESE

Barbara had a relationship with fellow Black Panther Darcus Howe, with whom she had a son, Darcus Beese.

Barbara Beese (born 2 January 1946) is a British activist, writer, and former member of the British Black Panthers.

She is most notable as one of the Black activists known as the Mangrove Nine, charged in 1970 with inciting a riot protesting against the police targeting of the Mangrove Restaurant in Notting Hill, west London, and ultimately acquitted.
