Bristol Bus Boycott - 50 years on
Fifty years ago Raghbir Singh became Bristol's first non-white bus conductor. He blazed a trail for the introduction of anti-discrimination laws that we have become used to now.
It all started on this day in 1963 when a bus company in Bristol lifted its 'colour bar' which stopped black and asian people being drivers or conductors.
Tulip Mazumdar has been bus hopping in Bristol, meeting the men who made it happen.
