Anthony Walker murder: Mum's plea to end racism after George Floyd

Anthony Walker murder: Mum's plea to end racism after George Floyd

The death of George Floyd in the US has created a new momentum to change the conversation around race in the UK.

One woman who has been trying to make change happen for the past 15 years is Gee Walker.

In 2005, her son Anthony, 18, was ambushed in a park in Liverpool and murdered by two white men, Michael Barton and Paul Taylor.

The judge described Anthony’s murder as an “act of racist thuggery of a type poisonous to any civilised society”.

In the wake of her son’s death, Gee set up the Anthony Walker Foundation which tackles hate crime and racial equality.

She talks about how she and her family have dealt with the news and aftermath of George Floyd's death, and what help is needed to "conquer racism" for good.
