London carnival show goes on _ with more import than ever
Anucska Case assists Carolyn Roberts-Griffith, left, with her costume for a prepping event ahead of this years Notting Hill Carnival which will be held virtually, in London, Thursday, Aug. 20, 2020. London's Notting Hill Carnival traces its roots to the emancipation of Black slaves and race riots in the city during the late 1950s. In 1966, Carnival took to the streets of Notting Hill, one of the few places in London where landlords would rent to Blacks. Like those events, the Notting Hill Carnival is a mixture of celebration and protest. After she moved to London in 1978 she channeled that sense of childhood wonder into a career creating costumes for the Notting Hill Carnival and other events.
