Show transcript
One big problem that black people faced in Bristol was finding good jobs. Even though there were not enough workers on the city's buses, people of colour were not allowed to work on them. This made Paul Stephenson very angry and so with four men from the Caribbean islands he decided to take action. They organised a boycott of the city's buses, supported by students, celebrities and politicians. After several months, the bus company agreed to allow people of colour to work on the buses.
