The family of photographer Leroy Cooper said they want his legacy to live on following his death.
Leroy, whose arrest triggered the 1981 Toxteth Riots, documented the city and the Liverpool 8 community in thousands of photographs. His work is exhibited at the Museum of Liverpool where his family paid tribute to him today.
His nephew Errol Smith and cousin poet Levi Tafari described Leroy as a pioneer for the L8 community and said they have been overwhelmed with support. It is understood he died on Friday aged 62.
