It is with great sadness that Bristol UNISON Black Members raise our fists in salute to the passing of (Ras) Judah Adunbi, Mr. Singh, and Reverend Jesse Jackson.
Two were sons of Bristol, one an iconic voice from America — yet all three touched lives across the globe. In their own distinct ways, each of them shaped history, challenged injustice, and inspired generations to believe in their own worth and power.
They taught us that we are never lesser than anyone else.
That as human beings, we too can reach for the stars — and attain them.
That we carry the ability to uplift others, to create change, and to leave this world better than we found it.
As an alumnus of Operation Black Vote (OBV) — the first in my field — I stand on the foundations they helped build. Their legacies continue in us, in our work, and in every act of courage we commit to.
We say thank you.
We honour you.
And we will meet again.
— Georgia Ramsay - Black Members Officer
