Lambeth: Cherry Groce memorial set to be unveiled next month

Dorothy ‘Cherry’ Groce was shot by police when they raided her house looking for her son. Four of her children were at home at the time, while her son was never charged.  Cherry was left paralysed from the waist down.  Two days of riots ensued as the community protested institutional racism and systemic injustice faced by Black people.   In 2011, Mrs Groce contracted an infection which led to kidney failure, and she passed away on Easter Sunday.   It was only in March 2014 that the Met Police apologised for the wrongful shooting – in July of that year an inquest jury concluded that eight police failures had led to Mrs Groce’s death.
