At Goldman Sachs' "Talks at GS" event, Kyle Williams hosted Baroness Doreen Lawrence to discuss the disproportionate impact of the Coronavirus on BAME communities and the ongoing legacy of the Macpherson Inquiry. Lawrence detailed how historical institutional racism necessitated legislative reforms like the Double Jeopardy clause, yet highlighted that current police recruitment standards and a lack of colonial history education continue to fuel racial profiling and discrimination. She concluded by advocating for comprehensive educational reform and promoting the Stephen Lawrence Scholarship to ensure future generations grow up free from systemic bias.
