Olive Morris (1952 - 1979) was a community leader and activist in the feminist, black nationalist, and squatters' rights campaigns of the 1970s in the United Kingdom. Morris was born in Jamaica in 1952 and moved to London, England, with her family at an early age. She lived predominantly in South London. She was a founding member of the Organisation of Women of African and Asian Descent (OWAAD) in London, established the Brixton Black Women's Group, was a member of the British Black Panthers movement, and helped found the Manchester Black Women's Cooperative and Manchester Black Women's Mutual Aid Group. ==Recognition== Morris died of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma at the age of 27 in 1979. Lambeth Council named one of its key buildings after her, in 1986. Morris is depicted on the B£1 denomination of the Brixton Pound, a local currency in Brixton, London. In October 2008 the Remembering Olive Collective was started. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Olive Morris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
