Earlier this morning I listened to the documentary about David’s life and the tragic events surrounding his time in this country which then lead to his heartbreaking death. May he rest in peace, bless his soul 🙏🏼

Word Wisdom boldness tell it like it is one humble gifted soul LKJ Jahknow!

So beautiful and inspirational will always think of David when I think of or see the beautiful hibiscus. When I was about 11 the house I was living in on Cape Town had two huge red hibiscus bushes can still see them today.

Thank you, this was really interesting, thought provoking and powerful.Really well run. I would recommend. Thank you, so much Robyn and son.

👍🏻

I am so glad to have been exposed to this man's insights, wisdom and sharp observations on society in the 70s. His analysis of racial politics and institutions is without equal. All of these poems I would listen to regularly through his albums.

I've bought his music, read his poetry (Sonny's Letter is still the most powerful piece I've ever read) and I was fortunate enough to meet him while in Barbados in 1981 at the Carifesra Event. He is a such an inspiration to thousands of people, perhaps millions. This interview is an important archive which should be shown in schools around the UK - without exception.

The maquette of Yinka's 'Hibiscus Rising' was on display at The Tetley Centre for Contemporary Art until January 2023. It's now installed at Leeds City Museum as part of the new "Overlooked" exhibition at the museum, where it will remain until 25th June 2023. More information on this important exhibition is here museumsandgalleries.leeds.gov.uk/events/leeds-city-museum/overlooked/

He is a "true rapper " !!!

I hate the smug audience

Respect.

I am so different, a white man born in London by the NHS bringing my parents to work in Britain, so privileged to be a fellow Londoner with brother Linton, what a time to be alive! I was privileged to meet him once. Thanks for this video.

Interesting wig. Very appropriate.

LKJ is truly one of our living legends and will always play a part in telling the story in our journey to integrate into the UK.

is there any trace of Mr Oluwale's family? That would be really precious if there were

Sehr geil! 😘

Beautiful work.

Something in the river smells fishy to me

Take it down its an insult to all whites he was running from the police W.L.M

We should smash monument down WLM

🤜🏾

Bumped into Linton in Streatham around 10 years ago. I was just walking down the high street, when I suddenly realized I had just walked past Mr Johnson. So I turned around and said "Legend", he was gracious and polite.

Big up , thanx .

Being a poet and using dub music to reflect my expressions.Kweisi Johnson was instrumental alongside mutuburuku & Benjamin Zephaniah to spur me on

LKJ: 'I actually wanted to be an accountant when I grew up'.

Like it

It was a blessing to see this finally happen after so many years work by some awesome people. Thank you so much for staying strong and persistent

The cruel death of David Oluwale occurred a few months after my family moved from Leeds to rural Huntingdonshire. We kept in touch with what was happening in Leeds, including the tragic unfolding of the Oluwale story, which has remained in my memory ever since. I returned to Leeds, to University, as the trial of the police officers began, and followed the events intently. I was appalled by the outcome. For many years I thought I had been one of only a few to have been in emotional turmoil from what had been done to this poor man, but only a few months ago discovered the plan to unveil a plaque, and realised I was not alone. Thank you to those who keep his memory alive.

The main has done more than he receives credit for and I learned so much. Much respect!!

I had this record years before and now its gone viral in Babylon.

It no good to STIR in a white mans country to long

speaking in front of a mainly white audience , ??????

Senhor Linton cuessi. Jonson. Gosto. Dos. Seus. Poemas. Apesar de não. Falar muito bem o Inglês. 🇧🇷🇬🇧

So sad 😭 God why can't we be all humans and accept each other

You speak true Linton.

What a treat thanks

et une pipe au chien??

There's no unrighteousness that shall go unpunished !

Such a tragic story. Lest we forget.

A legend 🙏🏾 we love you LKJ - KwaZulu (SA).

100000*

Did he ever perform in Jamaica

Enjoy the wisdom, talent and humility of this artist and never mind trying to draw conclusions from the nationalities or colour of the studio audience..

i was hoping he would come with an album again. i miss this kind of dub-poetry. lots of things to discuss
