HARAMBEE ORGANISATION 
OF BLACK UNITY  

WELCOME TO  THE MOVEMENT

Nicole Andrews Community Library

On March 21, 2022 we lost Dr Nicole Andrews, who had been fighting breast cancer. Nicole was a founding member of the Organisation of Black Unity and the driving force behind getting the Marcus Garvey Centre renovated. Nicole was an activist, mother and scholar who was dedicated to the uplift of the community and to researching the health inequalities facing Black women. Her academic work has only been brought more into focus by her death at the hands of a cancer that is three times more likely to kill Black women. 

To honour her memory we will be opening the Nicole Andrews Community Library in the Marcus Garvey Centre, which would not be open without her efforts. The library will be a place to share ideas, come together and generate new research projects.

Year X - 1965

Malcolm X visited Birmingham, just 9 days before he was assassinated in 1965. On his trip to the city he visited Marshall Street in Smethwick, which was in the grip of a housing controversy, with the council buying up houses to prevent ethnic minorities moving in. Later in the year one of the most racist elections in British history took place, with the victorious Conservative candidate for the area endorsing the slogan ‘If you want a Nigger for a neighbour, vote Labour’. Malcolm explained that he had come to Smethwick because he had heard the ethnic minorities were ‘being treated as the Jews were under Hitler’.
