Emerging in the late 1950s, it was a direct response to the Notting Hill riots, which saw White mobs attacking Black homes in West London and the brutal murder of Kelso Cochrane, an Antiguan carpenter. These events highlighted the severe racial discrimination faced at the time by Caribbean migrants who were invited to Britain after the Second World War, known as the Windrush generation. Trinidadian socialist and journalist Claudia Jones organized an indoor event in 1959, televised by the BBC, as a cultural celebration to counter hate and racism. Seven years later, in 1966, community activist Rhaune Laslett organized the first outside event in Notting Hill, which would become a significant annual carnival, attracting thousands. Before not too long, those thousands would turn into millions and become the second-largest street festival in the world, surpassed only by Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro Carnival in size and attendance. Today, while the carnival is renowned for its lively parades and diverse performances, it is crucial to remember its origins. The festivity’s transformation into a commercial spectacle shouldn’t overshadow its roots in fighting racial injustice. As we celebrate, let’s reflect on the historical struggles that gave rise to this cultural phenomenon and remain vigilant against the rising tide of racism and xenophobia. Who’s going this year?
