Due to Covid-19 restrictions the event will be live streamed from 11am. The online broadcast will feature the 15 official guests taking part in the unveiling, including Mrs Groce’s family. 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.
