Presented by Brinsley Forde Aminatta Forna and Martin Shaw.
A series of six programmes in which Ebony goes out on the road to meet Britain's Afro-Caribbean communities.
This week, the programme travels to the oldest of these, Toxteth in Liverpool. The frontline issue for debate is Lord Gifford's inquiry into
Liverpool 8, and members of the community take a critical look at the results. There's a rap-fast analysis of black music in the 80s and images of the streetwise lust for gold. Plus a sharp interview with the 'outrageous' Grace Jones. Producers
