'It was equivalent to a modern day lynching on the streets of Britain.' SangitaMyska delivers a powerful monologue 30 years on from the death of Stephen Lawrence.
Sangita Myska discussed the murder of Stephen Laurence as she soliloquized on the impact his murder has had.
Stephen was murdered in a racially motivated attack in Eltham, south-east London on the 22nd April 1993.She went on to credit those who had sought justice for Stephen, including police officer Clive Driscoll who she said "made it his mission to see justice done". "I remember what I did, I went upstairs and sat on my mums' bed, I picked up the phone and I rang my friend and I said it's happened.
"That even if we were being attacked, spat at, sworn at, injured, killed - the people that should care about us, didn't.""Look how well we've done...we have come here, we have worked hard, we have become part of Britain."Sangita went on to refer to the recent MET police report led by Dame Louise Casey saying: "We saw...only recently that institutional racism, misogyny and homophobia still affects the police force that failed the Lawrence family.
