Overview
Yvonne has always been proud to call herself black, in spite of her mixed heritage. She's ignored her West Indian parents' natural inclination to keep a low profile in their adopted homeland and looks down on her brother Kev for it too.Inspired by the black activism that she's seen around her since the 1960s, giving voice to injustice has been the driving force in her life. However, as she prepares to demonstrate for the young black victims of the tragic New Cross fire in 1981, she finds herself giving expression to a deeper, more personal loss for the very first time.
