Richard Stone (anti-racism activist)
British doctor and activist (1937–2024)
Richard Malcolm Ellis Stone OBE (9 March 1937 – 5 March 2024) was a British medical doctor, and social campaigner and philanthropist. Stone was best known for his association with the Runnymede Trust and the Jewish Council for Racial Equality on issues of race and politics, as well as race and society more generally in the United Kingdom. Stone was appointed to the panel of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry; a case involving a Black teenager who was murdered in London in 1993; which eventually led to the Macpherson Report, which defined the British Metropolitan Police's response to the incident as "institutionally racist." Stone was also noted for his association with the Jewish interfaith group The Woolf Institute.
