'It has broken us': Brixton protester speaks emotionally about 'feeling the pain' of racism every day

A woman who joined the Take the Knee protest in Brixton on Wednesday spoke emotionally about how older black people had "been feeling the pain" of racism every day.

The protestor, called Jennifer, was born in Brixton in the 1950s and described her experience of living in south London.

Jennifer said she worried constantly about her own family and frequently prayed for them.

An online fundraiser for the UK chapter of the Black Lives Matter movement had reached more than £270,000 on Thursday morning, with the funds going to "support black life against institutional racism".

An online-only rally is due to take place this Sunday, campaign group Stand Up to Racism said, with speakers to discuss "how we turn the new wave of anger over racism and injustice into an effective movement for change".
