How George Floyd's death changed my hometown
A woman who set up a campaign group in her hometown following the death of George Floyd in the United States has said racism is not only an "American problem".
Afrika Green, 30, spoke out at a protest about her own experiences of racism and established BSE4BL - Bury St Edmunds for Black Lives.
The group aims to be a "community for ethnic minorities" and a "safe place".
A year on from Mr Floyd's murder, Ms Green said: "George Floyd's death sparked in me a need to talk about the racism I had experienced growing up, and to...refute those claims that racism only is an American problem."
