David Oluwale (1930–1969) was a British Nigerian who drowned in the River Aire in Leeds,West Riding of Yorkshire,in 1969. The events leading to his drowning have been described as "the physical and psychological destruction of a homeless,black man whose brutal,systematic harassment was orchestrated by the Leeds city police force." Oluwale's death resulted in the first successful prosecution of British police officers for involvement in the death of a black person. The legacy of his life and experiences –as well as his death –has shaped the discussion of systematic racism within British legal institutions,police brutality and practice,inequality,and mental health policy. He has inspired artworks,been the subject of several books and documentaries,and a blue plaque in Leeds commemorates his life.
