In 2013 I had the privilege of interviewing Paul Stephenson about his leadership of the Bristol bus boycott, which overturned the ban on black drivers and conductors working on the city's buses. An extraordinary man with a colossal legacy. RIP.

Fifty years have passed since campaigners overturned a ban on ethnic minorities working on Bristol's buses. It was a watershed in the fight for equality.
RIP Paul Stephenson, who has died aged 87. He organised the successful Bristol bus boycott of 1963, now recognised as an important moment in British social history - by winning the argument against racial discrimination in practice, and then in law too. https://t.co/3vFLNy73xw

Sister Mary Elizabeth lived mostly in silence as a Carmelite nun. Then, during a fleeting encounter with an equally devout monk, she sensed a spark between them. A week later he asked her to marry him. Incredible story by @AleemMaqbool: https://t.co/DQ73IgAxW3

How two devoutly religious lives were transformed by a fleeting encounter in a convent.
