The Brixton Black Women's Group (BWG) was an organisation for
Foundation
Several of the group's founding members, such as Beverley Bryan, Olive Morris and Liz Obi, had previously been active in the British Black Panthers.[3] BWG was formed partly from frustrations that although there was a women's caucus, the Panthers were not taking women's issues seriously.[4]
For its first two years, the group lacked dedicated meeting space and met in members' homes.[2] Later, together with the Mary Seacole Craft Group, the BWG established the Mary Seacole House, renamed the Black Women's Centre in 1979.[1]
Publications
The BWG also published a newsletter, Speak Out.[1][5][4][6]
