Join us for the book launch of  Who Killed Oswald Grey?  Date: Sat Oct 25 2025 Time: 19:00 Location: B5 5RA - The ML2 Lounge Hosted by Genesis Radio Birmingham and supported by a host of high-profile people of Jamaican heritage - and plenty of others too! - this is a chance to discover this forgotten piece of Birmingham history that talks to us of racism and injustice across the decades. With readings and commentary, Q&A with the author Jon Berry and a chance to mingle and socialise, this will be an evening that will appeal to anyone with an interest in the social history of race in our city. The scene of the murder of Thomas Bates in the family newsagents on Lee Bank Road on June 2nd, 1962. Police - and some witnesses - wrongly thought that the culprit had fled the scene on a number 8 bus. Less than six months later, 20-year-old Jamaican, Oswald Grey - known as Roy - was hanged for the crime at Winson Green prison. Justice was hasty and careless when it came to what was seen as a disposable young Black man. It's a story that echoes down the years.
