After the initial investigation, five suspects were arrested but not charged. It was suggested during the investigation that Lawrence was killed because he was Black, and that the case was woefully mishandled by the police and\u00a0Crown Prosecution Service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47448\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Stephen-Lawrence-Day.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1147\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The subsequent Macpherson Report found the investigation of Stephen\u2019s murder had been deeply marred by institutional racism in the Metropolitan Police. It wasn&#8217;t until 2011 that a retrial began, ending in murder convictions &#8211; but only for two of the six attackers involved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fallout from the trial has literally rewritten British law &#8211; causing the double jeopardy rule to be repealed in murder cases and allowing retrials when new and compelling evidence is discovered.\u00a0 A national day of commemoration is now held in Stephen\u2019s honor every spring \u2014 2021 marks the third Stephen Lawrence Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>A national day of reckoning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stephen Lawrence Day was officially recognized by Prime Minister Theresa May in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guardian article <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marking the first Stephen Lawrence day, Doreen Lawrence wrote: \u201cI hope that the first National\u00a0Stephen Lawrence\u00a0Day will help to drive forward an important national conversation about how we can all build a fairer and more inclusive Britain. But more importantly, I want this day to inspire our country\u2019s future generation into living their best life \u2013 in the same spirit as Stephen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>BE@R UK brings it home<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Black Employees @ RingCentral (BE@R) UK Employee Resource Group is hosting a webinar on April 21, 2021 honoring the legacy of Stephen Lawrence and opening discussions about Black life in the UK and in the workplace. In particular, the discussion will focus on addressing the types of representation of (or lack thereof) Black people in leadership positions across different sectors in UK society e.g. corporate executives, media roles, sports, the arts and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>Progress begins in the mirror<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BE@R UK member Kitson Locke thinks it\u2019s a positive that the idea for honoring Stephen Lawrence Day actually came from the top down &#8211; RingCentral HR made the suggestion. But he also thinks RingCentral UK is emblematic of the issues the webinar is trying to raise:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOn a local scale, we should aim for more diversity in local leadership. We don\u2019t have any Black leaders in the UK team. Globally, we would like to see more Black executives at the C-level; not so we can just say we\u2019re \u201cdiverse,\u201d but ultimately to create an environment where every employee \u2014 of any color, gender or orientation\u2014 can see themselves advancing, growing and succeeding.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>#ChallengeAccepted<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diversity-centric events worldwide often employ the hashtag #ChallengeAccepted, which asks participants to engage in three different kinds of challenges \u2013 <\/span><b>do good<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (a simple act of kindness to help others in your community); <\/span><b>get creative<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (express what living your best life looks like for you through your chosen art form); or <\/span><b>share the learning <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(find out about a particular issue (like Stephen\u2019s story) and share it). BE@R is making #ChallengeAccepted a key part of the webinar and encourages everyone to carry out a meaningful act of kindness in opposition to racism \u2014 whether you post it on social media or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>Honoring a legacy; moving forward intentionally<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A single webinar doesn\u2019t solve racism. A single Black executive doesn\u2019t make a company diverse. But the grassroots efforts of groups like BE@R UK do make a difference. Inch by inch, heart by heart, issue by issue, on Stephen Lawrence Day and every day, everyone who raises their voices to honor all the differences and diversity of humanity helps to bring the change we all want to see. BE@R UK exemplifies RingCentral\u2019s ideals, and reminds us that for us, progress only happens one way\u2014together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/webinar.ringcentral.com\/j\/1478715254\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join the Webinar on April 21, 2021 04:30 PM Greenwich Mean Time<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stephenlawrenceday.org\/community\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about Stephen Lawrence Day<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BE@R UK to host webinar raising awareness and promoting social justice.
