'''Altab Ali''' (1953 – 4 May 1978) was a [[Bangladesh]]i [[textile]] worker who was murdered by three teenagers on 4 May 1978 in a racistally motivated attack as he walked home after work.  His murder took place at St. Mary's Gardens by St Mary's Churchyard, and near the corner of Adler Street and [[Whitechapel Road]] in [[London]].  It provoked the mass mobilisation of the local [[Bengali people|Bengali]] community locally and came to represent the self-organisation of the community.  Ali became a symbol of resistance against racism and ishas been associated with the struggle for human rights in defence of [[British Bangladeshi]]s.  The churchyard he was murdered in was later renamed [[Altab Ali Park]] in his memory.
