Judah Adunbi, who has died aged 70

Mr Adunbi, who was known as Ras Judah by much of the St Pauls and Easton community he formed a key part of, was described as a ‘pillar of Bristol’s conscience’ in a tribute posted on social media.

“We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Ras Judah,’ Bristol Black History Month posted on Facebook. “Ras Judah born Judah Adunbi was more than a campaigner or community elder. He was a pillar of Bristol’s conscience.

“From his involvement in the 1980 St Pauls uprising to his decades of service as an independent race relations advisor to the police, he carried both the pain and the pride of our city with unwavering dignity.”
