Uncovering the Truth: Orgreave Inquiry Gives Former Miners a Voice
The long-awaited Orgreave inquiry, led by Bishop Pete Wilcox, aims to enable communities to move on by finally allowing former miners to speak the truth about the infamous 1984 clashes with police.
After four decades of silence, former miners will finally get the chance to share their experiences and the truth about the infamous Orgreave clashes with police during the 1984 miners' strike. The public inquiry, led by Bishop Pete Wilcox of Sheffield, aims to help the South Yorkshire community move on from the events of June 18, 1984, when striking miners found themselves in a pitched battle against thousands of police officers brought in from across the UK.
Wilcox, the inquiry chair, believes that only through an official investigation can the community truly come to terms with what happened that day.
