Olive Morris 2

Inscription

Olive Morris 1952 - 1979
This building is dedicated to the memory of Olive Morris. Olive was a key figure in Lambeth local history and the founder of the Brixton Black Women's Group.
"My heart will always be in Brixton".

The inscription is on a window and consequently is very difficult to photograph.
