In Britain, communities of colour have always found routes towards political organisation and cultural expression, even though these experiences have often been marginalised in dominant discourse. Contemporary struggles against racism – encapsulated in the Black Lives Matter movement and the recent removal of statues of slave-traders from major cities – are a fight over history itself.
Join Red Pepper, in collaboration with Repeater and Pluto Press on Thursday 25 June, at 7pm (UK), as we bring together writers and activists to explore what the past can teach us about race today.
