" The Carnival's roots date back to the Abolition of
Slavery
Act in 1833 when the first Caribbean carnival was held in
Trinidad Black Caribbeans took to the streets for their own
carnival party, with song, dance and costumes. When the first
significant numbers of West
Indian immigrants came to the UK in the 1950s, they brought
their musical traditions. But what began with harassment of
individual black men by white gangs blew up into a full-scale
riot in August 1958 which continued for weeks. The following
year, carnival's first British incarnation took place in St
Pancras Town Hall, organised by West Indian Gazette editor Claudia
Jones. " **

THE NERVE OF
NELSON
MANDELA ... By Emanuel McLittle, September 19, 2002
E. McLittle |
"Silent about South
Africa's killings and rapes, where white women and even
small white children are intentionally infected with the
AIDS virus. To suppress the truth about their brethren,
world wide, is their job"
"This has cut food production
down by 60 percent. The reason for the mass fleeing is the
near 1,500 murders of small and large white farmers by black
thugs carrying military weapons, possibly distributed by
the ANC" |

"Carnival
organisers lose backing." |
"The carnival in 2003 will still
happen. One of the major financial backers of the Notting
Hill Carnival has said it will no longer fund the group which
has run the event for more than a decade.The Arts Council
has decided to side-step the Notting Hill Carnival Trust,
which co-ordinates and promotes the carnival, and give money
straight to performers"

Photographs
By Notting Hill Carnival Photographer - Timothy N. Holt" |
"In taking pictures at the Notting
Hill Carnival, his aim is to be an observer, capturing images
of the participants dancing, singing, performing, or in other
words doing what they want to do, without making them self-conscious
or aware they are being photographed. He's made a point of
following several individuals and has photos of them over
the years growing from children into young adults."
