The disturbing scenes of rioting in London and across many of the UK's major cities has left many asking serious questions about the state of the nation. Media commentators, faith and community leaders and business leaders and the media have offered their analysis of what factors were responsible - or purported to be responsible - for the scenes of devastation witnessed on our television screens. At the outset of the riots there were comments being made about the role - or lack of role - and influence of the family.

The State of Black Britain Symposium will explore whether, as some have argued, whether the scenes of devastation witnessed during the week of rioting was as much to do with the demise of the family (and community) as it was with an entrenched sense of social, communal and political injustice.

We invite you to join us as leading figures within the UK's black communities offer their view and perspectives around key issues related the the black family. The symposium will be facilitated by the award winning Broadcaster and presenter Henry Bonsu.
