Thirty years after the violent disturbances in St Paul's (Bristol) marked the beginning of the broader unrest of the 1980s, ‘Our Memories of the Uprisings’ provided a forum in which to discuss how these events developed, the social tensions involved and their legacies. This unrest, focused on Brixton, Liverpool 8 (now Toxteth), St Paul's and a number of other sites, was and is frequently characterized as ‘racial rioting’, a term still erroneously used, as the 2001 troubles in Bradford, Burnley and Oldham showed. The forum placed particular emphasis on memory as a way of developing a more complex sense of an over-simplified history. This was articulated by Gail Lewis (Reader in the Faculty of Social Sciences, Open University), event advisor and the evening's Chair, who noted in her introduction that, ‘memory is not just a moment of romance and nostalgia, memory is a moment of learning and planning for the future’.
