Description
Green, black and white poster advertising a Justice Benefit for the Pryces. The event was held at the Upper Cut on Saturday 28 September. The poster lists the musicians and DJs attending.
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.
