1958 Notting Hill race riots
The Notting Hill race riots were a series of racially motivated riots that took place in London, England, over several nights in late August and early September 1958.
==Context==
The end of World War II had seen a marked increase in Caribbean migrants to Britain. By the 1950s white working-class "Teddy Boys" were beginning to display hostility towards the black families in the area, a situation exploited and inflamed by groups such as Sir Oswald Mosley's Union Movement and other far-right groups such as the White Defence League, who urged disaffected white residents to "Keep Britain White".〔(Exploring 20th Century London ), London Museums.〕
There was an increase in violent attacks on black people through summer. For instance, on 24 August 1958 a group of ten white youths committed a series of serious assaults on six West Indian men in four separate incidents. At 5.40am, their car was spotted by two police officers who pursued them into the White City estate, where the gang abandoned the car. Using the car as a lead, investigating detectives arrested nine of the gang the next day after working non-stop for 20 hours.
Just prior to the Notting Hill riots, there was racial unrest in Nottingham, which began on Saturday, 23 August, and went on intermittently for two weeks.〔Linda Pressly, ("The 'forgotten' race riot" ), British Broadcasting Corporation, 21 May 2007.〕
