Toxteth Riots

The Toxteth Riots occurred in Liverpool's Toxteth area in 1981, sparked by tensions over racial discrimination, economic hardship, and police practices. Citizens, mostly from minority communities, protested against perceived injustice and poor living conditions. The situation escalated into violent clashes with police, damaging property and disrupting daily life. The riots highlighted issues of racial inequality, social exclusion, and mistrust between residents and authorities, prompting broader discussions about urban poverty and race relations in the UK.
