reviews Roots to Reckoning, at the Museum of London There's still time to catch this excellent exhibition of black British photography. Images from three Jamaican-born photographers Armet Francis, Neil Kenlock and Charlie Phillips capture key events from the mid sixties on.
This is linked into their own personal stories as boys who arrived without their parents in the post-war immigrant wave, struggling to find a place in a racist society.
Kenlock may now be a significant entrepreneur having set up Roots magazine and the first black-owned radio station Choice FM, but in the late sixties he joined the Britishbased Black Panther Party and was their official photographer.
Between the three of them they snapped a string of significant figures visiting Britain - including Stokely Carmichael, Angela Davis, Marvin Gaye, Mohammed Ali, CLR James and Bob Marley.
Alongside demonstrations about apartheid, immigration controls, police brutality and the 1981 New Cross Fire, there are everyday images of London's Caribbean community.
Spread along one long wall is a time-line which, although open to criticism for what it emphasises and omits, is a 50 year testimony to this history.
A key episode was Malcolm X's visit to London in 1965 -sadly not photographed, it seems.
. In the background is a continuous stream of glorious 1970s roots reggae from Trojan Records.
And it's free!
