Unlawful Killing: Protest Banners Part 1 | Series 3 Episode 5

Continuing with the artistic theme, this episode focuses on visual power of the protest banner. Lucy and Lee talk to campaigner Susan Alexander, whose son Azelle Rodney, an unarmed Black man, was fatally shot by a Met Police officer just a week after his 24th birthday.


Susan talks about the heavy toll of state failures on her and her family and how art is both a tonic for grief and a tool for community campaigning. Susan commissioned a banner in memory of Azelle, in his favourite colour blue, to take along to United Friends and Families Campaign marches, which memorialise lost loved ones.


She tells Lucy and Lee about the banner — made by trade union and protest banner-making extraordinaire Ed Hall — and the impact it has on her and others when carrying it on the marches.
