Black Lives Movt in Forest of Dean Undeterred

Khady Guey and her friends have been talking to BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat programme about organising Black Lives Matter protests over the summer in the Forest of Dean. The predominantly rural and conservative part of the country has an issue with racism and Khady has become a touch stone for it. She spoke of the attempts by local residents to stop the BLM protests that she organised, and the trolling online over a proposed Black Lives Matter installation art piece in a local park. "This sculpture piece is about exploring and celebrating black and ethnic minority people who live in these rural spaces, where they are in the minority population," she says. Undeterred by internet threats and outbursts, Khady and her friend Eleni Eldridge-Tull have set up the Local Equality Commission, which seeks to support black and ethnic minority groups in rural areas.
