Linton Kwesi Johnson CD
LG02, Professor Stuart Hall Building
In January 2026, we marked the dedication of a lecture theatre to poet, activist and 牛牛资源 graduate and Honorary Fellow Linton Kwesi Johnson CD.
One of his most celebrated poems is 鈥淣ew Crass Massakah鈥� about the New Cross fire which claimed the lives of 14 young Black people 鈥� a tragedy that remains unresolved and continues to cast a long shadow.鈥�
As we mark , we are honouring Linton鈥檚 legacy as a key voice in the Black liberation movement in the UK and beyond and believe that dedicating a learning space on our campus to him will help inspire our current and future students to create positive change in the world.
