THE BLACK PEOPLE's DAY OF ACTION in March this year was an historic event. The call came from the New Cross Massacre Action Committee in response to police and press attempts to cover up the real story surrounding the fire at 439 New Cross Road, in which thirteen black youth lost their lives.
The determination of Britain's black population to defend themselves against all comers - be they police, fascists or Tory policies - has made its mark on the major political events of 1981.
In April, when the police launched a special operation against the black community in Brixton 'Swamp '81' - black youth were joined by whites in street battles unprecedented on the British mainland this century.
Nobody in the black com munity in Brixton was prepared to condemn the young people.
The Brixton events marked a historic break with British socie. ty by large sections of the most oppressed of the inner cities. Three months later, in July, the pattern was to be repeated up and down the country.
As the year ends, Tory Britain has come no closer to solving the probiems of Britain's inner cities.
The Scarman inquiry into Brixton has been greeted with derision from the black community and local council leaders
