On 22 April 1993, Stephen Lawrence was killed by a gang of white men in a racist attack. He had been waiting for a bus with a friend, when the gang attacked them. His friend survived.
Many people believed the police treated Stephen's case differently because he was black - and that some officers acted in a racist way. A big inquiry into Stephen's killing and the police investigation was held, and in 1999 it found that the Metropolitan police were 'institutionally racist'. This means that racist attitudes and beliefs were seen as normal in the Metropolitan police, and affected how they investigated Stephen's murder.
This day is now called Stephen Lawrence Day. Stephen Lawrence Day was created by the Stephen Lawrence Foundation as a celebration of his life and legacy. It exists "to inspire a more equal, inclusive society, and to foster opportunities for marginalised young people in the UK".
