Submission Documents: By Councillor Graham Campbell:- "Council recognises the pivotal importance of the events of 22nd April 1993 which witnessed the murder of Stephen Lawrence in Eltham, South London. Council further notes the heroic anti-racism campaign and the landmark changes to equalities laws - including the legal definition of Institutionalised racism arising from the late Judge McPherson's Stephen Lawrence Inquiry report. Council further acknowledges how the failure at the time to ensure justice to the Lawrence family and the tireless campaigning work of Baroness Lawrence ultimately led to the Race Equality Amendment Acts 2002 - now the Equalities Act 2010. Council resolves that GCC officially marks 22nd April as Annual Stephen Lawrence Memorial Day in line with the wishes of the Stephen Lawrence Foundation and further resolves to publicise the day across all departments on its social media especially Education; Council further resolves for the leader to invite Hon Stuart Lawrence and Baroness Doreen Lawrence to join us for a memorial event in order to recognise their campaigning work and to mark the impact on race equality laws and further our commitment to tackling racism nationally and internationally."
