LKJ Info
Remember those
LKJ tracks - "Reggae fi Rodney",
"Reggae Fi Peach" ... Apparently, Peach was
a New Zealand teacher who was murdered in England.
Does anyone have information about the events the
preceded the murder?

Blair Peach
April 23rd
1999 will mark the 20th anniversary of the murder
of East London NUT member Blair Peach. Blair was
killed whilst attending an anti-National Front
demonstration. He died as a result of injuries
suffered from a blow by a police truncheon.
Despite calls by many, including the NUT, for an
inquiry into his death, none took place and no
one was ever charged with his murder.
A committee
has been set up to organise some initiatives to
mark the anniversary and celebrate anti-racism.
Activities planned include:
- an
anti-racist education conference
- poetry
and drama competitions in
- schools
(to be organised on a local basis)
- a Blair
Peach day in schools
- a
national anti-racist demonstration in
Southall on April 24th 1999.
The
anniversary committee is well supported. The
first meeting was attended by Neville Lawrence,
whose courage and dignity during the inquiry into
the murder of his son are an inspiration.
Local NUT
branches can affiliate to the committee. More details

86 Bow Road,

Thank you all
for the information regarding Blair Peach.
A similar reggae
track is Reggae fi Rodney. Walter Rodney was a
Guyanese lecturer at the University of the West
Indies. In the sixties, after he was declared persona
non grata in Jamaica, he was not allowed to return.
His wife and child were still in Jamaica at the time.
He eventually returned to Guyana where he was
assassinated. I don't understand the reason for the
assassination. So he had what some would call left
wing politics so ...
I still have not
found More Time in record stores in Atlanta. Hot Wax
on Edgewood Avenue is my next search.
Time for the
Linoness' photo of LKJ (:-D

My memory
was not so good: i just remembered it was a fascist
crime- about LKJ: I just bought yesterday a copy of
'More time'-it's curious cause the release is about
June, but this is the first time I see the CD on my
record shop-probably there are some worldwide
distribution problem (the CD is distributed by WEA)
and i think this is a shame, speaking about an LKJ
record.
