Overview
Set up by Tariq Ali and others, the Black Defence Committee was based in the International Marxist Group offices. It was formed as a militant group to counter racist and fascist activities.
Its initial march, on 31 October 1970, was to support Black Power activists the Mangrove Nine. Limited reporting on the group came from HN345 ‘Peter Fredericks’, HN340 ‘Andy Bailey’ and HN338.
