Join friends of WoW, Professor Stephen Small and community organiser Jimi Jagne, in a dynamic conversation centering on their recent publication 1981 – Black Liverpool Past and Present a fascinating and timely insight into the history of Liverpool’s Black communities.
Focusing on the 1981 Uprising as a pinnacle moment, Jagne and Small contextualise Liverpool’s Black history before and after. In doing so, they recognise the people who have shaped Liverpool and their stories of resistance and self-determination. Designed as an accessible starting point for studying Liverpool’s Black history, the stories within this collection will educate and entertain.
The event host is Janaya Pickett, WoW’s Project Manager, who is currently overseeing our Creative Heritage work on the archive of Dorothy Kuya at National Museums Liverpool.
