Twenty years on from the Macpherson report

Stephen Lawrence was stabbed to death in a racist attack in south London.

The Metropolitan police later admitted failures in the case and in 1999 the Machpherson report accused it of Institutional racism.

The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Affairs committee spoke to Stephen's mother Doreen - now a Labour peer - about what had changed in the last two decades.

Alicia McCarthy reports.
