I joined Wikipedia to create a page about my Grandfather, Gyani Sundar Singh Sagar, who was an important Sikh activist in the UK. Among other causes, he campaigned for the right for Sikh bus conductors in Manchester to be able to wear turbans as part of their uniform as well as for a national law allowing Sikhs to wear turbans on motorcycles instead of helmets which was passed in 1976. His activism has been the subject of an exhibition at Manchester Central Library in collaboration with the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Resource Centre in February 2016 as well as a BBC documentary looking at race relations in the UK called Race Apart hosted by Lemn Sissay in December 2015.
