Speaker: Gaverne Bennett. Gaverne is the creative director/author of The Guardian’s most successful wall chart series The Black History timeline & The British Library’s Black Literature timeline that went to every secondary school in the UK. He also developed a timeline for the National Gallery marking its 200th anniversary to make its collection more accessible as well as creating award winning timelines on the 1929 Wall Street Crash & International Women’s Day. Gaverne will discuss why in this dark time of book banning & so on understanding history has never been more important for finding a way out of & going forward from the present predicament we all find ourselves in. He will also outline why the principles – history belongs to all of us, for example – have never been more important than now.
Meetings start with a buffet at 7:30pm followed by a talk at 8:00pm, then discussion at about 9:00pm. All meetings are free of charge. Voluntary donations welcome. No need to book. If you can, please bring some vegetarian/vegan food and drink to share.
