Bernie Grant (1944–2000) was a British Labour politician and one of the first Black MPs in the UK, representing Tottenham from 1987 until his death. Born in British Guiana, he moved to Britain in 1963 and became active in local politics, later serving as the leader of Haringey Council during the 1985 Broadwater Farm unrest. Known for his outspokenness on racial equality, Grant founded the Parliamentary Black Caucus in 1989 to advance minority representation. In 1993, he co-founded the African Reparations Movement, advocating for reparations for slavery and colonialism. Grant’s legacy endures as a pioneering, fearless advocate for social justice and Black British empowerment.
