Who Killed Michael Ferreira? - Pamphlet cover, 1979. Michael Ferreira was a 19 year old Black man born in Guyana, he came to Hackney in 1971 to live with his mother and sisters. Early on the 10th December 1978 Michael and his friends got into a fight with white teenagers on Stoke Newington High Street. Michael was stabbed, he went into Stoke Newington Police Station to get help and from there he was later taken to St Leonard's Hospital but by then he was already dead. Mark Sullivan a 17 year old street market trader from Kingsland Road was given a 5 year prison sentence for stabbing Michael, the trial judge said that Sullivan was not motivated by racism. Michael Ferreira’s family and friends believed that the police had taken much too long to call an ambulance and that this needless delay contributed to Michael's death. Stoke Newington Police officers were well-known locally for violence, law-breaking and racism. Photos of Michael Ferreira's funeral procession
