Ban on black staff lifted

Apparently on this day in 1966, the ban of black staff working at Euston mainline station was lifted, I wasn't even born then but I was surprised that the racist attitude was so blatant only 39 years ago. Thankfully we have come a long way since then.

Was LUL ever a "racist" employer? I know that even today not many staff from non-white groups are in the higher management level, but it is getting better. Most internal vacancies within LUL have a paragraph at the bottom stating that women, and staff from ethnic groups are encouraged to apply.
