Description
Poster 'Justice for the Pryces' printed in brown at an angle at the top. Beneath this is the image of a young black man at a protest with his fist raised. Text next to the image reads 'DEFEND GERALD REMEMBER EUSTACE'. Lower down is information about the murder of Eustace Pryce, and the names of individuals and groups who had experienced racist attacks and prejudiced policing. At the bottom of the poster in brown, it reads 'DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH MURDER'. The poster was used to raise awareness of the campaign, rather than for a specific event.
Eustace Pryce was a 16 year old black youth who was stabbed in the head on 29 November 1984 after he and a group of friends had confronted a gang of racists. The incident was witnessed by plain-clothed police officers. Rather than arresting the murderer, Pryce's brother Gerald was detained. Gerald was charged with affray and initially denied bail.
