Battle of Bamber Bridge Lunchtime Lecture

The US troops deployed across Britain from 1942 were in segregated units.  US military authorities, with the support of the British authorities, attempted to impose 'Jim Crow' segregation on the 120,000 African American troops, but in Bamber Bridge British troops and civilians allied with the troops and resisted racist practices.  A full-scale mutiny erupted on the 24th June 1943.  This talk will outline the dramatic and tragic events of the night and examine the significance of what is known as the Battle of Bamber Bridge in Lancashire.

Part of the Black History Month
