The Benjamin Zephaniah Family Legacy (BZFL) Group website has been launched.
The group was founded by Benjamin’s siblings in January 2024.
The BZFL Group is an Unincorporated Association supported by The National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund and news/campaign group 4WardEverUK.
Benjamin’s remaining siblings are Velda White (twin sister), Millicent Springer, Joyce Springer-Amadedon, Tippa Naphtali, Mark Springer, Paul Springer and David Springer. Other extended family members will be involved at various stages of delivery and management of the association.
The family are determined that in their own way, they want to do their bit to ensure that Benjamin’s legacy will always be celebrated and recognised, and to work with various parties to co-organise a series of national and international events and projects towards this aim.
The family summary:
Benjamin’s sister Joyce said; “it’s a privilege to be part of our family’s joined-up effort to remember and celebrate our amazing Benjamin and to act as a sounding board and reference point for others who wish to do the same.”
Several members of Benjamin’s family members have a long history of providing community and faith-based services to support some of the most vulnerable people in society. Like Benjamin, we are shaped by our shared lived experience and are passionate about many of the things Benjamin stood for and spoke out about.
‘It runs in the family it would seem.’
See their ‘Mission’ page where you can find out more about the aims, mission and plans of the Benjamin Zephaniah Family Legacy Group.
