The first Notting Hill carnivals
Why was the Notting Hill carnival created?
In the late 1960s, the Notting Hill carnival was well established as a West-Indian and Carribean festival. However, many riots between Carribean youths and the police occured until the late 1980s...
The Notting Hill Carnival was the result of two different festivals:
-The 1959 "Carribean festival" organized by Claudia Jones as a response to the depressing state of race relations.
-The 1966 "hippie" Notting Hill carnival, to promote cultural unity for the children of the neighbourhood.
