Ebony on the Road in Butetown, Cardiff - 1989

[@meapantz1983]

My great great grandfather was from Jamaica and worked in the mines. His kids were born early 1870s but i think he arrived before. His son was the boxer David Peters. I like what the guy on the video said about each generation having a regeneration to paraphrase

Thanks for the upload...recently got interested in the "Cardiff 5". This documentary has given a bit more insight into Butetown, its environs and why the "Cardiff 5" saga happened.

This is total bollocks.... I was partying and living in Cardiff city centre 15 yrs prior to this.. The black community was very much alive and kicking ass in every aspect of the town. And we all loved it.. I think this is... I feel sorry for myself video, cause I wasn't recognised as much I wanted to be video.. I hope you've got over yourself now lovely.. ✌️❤️🤗
