The Voice
Issue of the 'The Voice', described as 'Britain's Best Black Newspaper', 24 August 1985. The paper was launched in 1982 by Jamaican Londoner Val McCalla with a grant from the Greater London Council (GLC). The 'Voice' campaigned against discriminatory laws that blighted the lives of many Black Londoners at that time. It was the first newspaper aimed at young Black people born and brought up in Britain, and achieved a huge circulation. The paper launched the careers of top journalists like Trevor Phillips and Martin Bashir. This issue carries a special feature on the Notting Hill Carnival.
