Stephen Lawrence
Stephen Lawrence was a Black British teenager who became a symbol of the struggle against racism in the UK after he was murdered in a racially motivated attack in 1993. His death and the subsequent investigation, which was marred by police incompetence and institutional racism, led to widespread public outcry and calls for reform in policing and the justice system. The inquiry into his murder exposed significant failures within the Metropolitan Police and resulted in the landmark Macpherson Report, which defined institutional racism and prompted changes in policies and practices within law enforcement.
