Civil rights campaigner and Bristol bus boycott organiser Roy Hackett has died aged 93

Summary by Ground News
Roy Hackett was seen as one of the most important voices of the civil rights movement. He was a leader of the Bristol bus boycott in 1963 - a campaign which aimed to end discrimination in employment. The council-run Bristol Omnibus Company had refused to employ black people, claiming it was because white people would not want to use their service. He helped overturn a ban by Bristol Omnibus Company on employing black and Asian drivers and conductors.
