To celebrate the launch of the Journey to Justice Exhibition in April 2017 at the National Museum of Justice, and in particular the story of Nottingham social reformer Samuel Morley and African American activist Josiah Henson, please join us for a series of talks across the city of Nottingham.
Morley organized a series of ‘Penny Lectures’ in London during the nineteenth century to encourage people to enhance their education. Paying just a penny, these lectures were open to everyone. Inspired by Morley’s action, we have organised five lectures on issues both Morley and Henson were passionate about.
Please join the New Art Exchange and community activist Lisa Robinson (Bright Ideas) for a discussion on her project 'Slave Trade Legacies.' This project forced heritage sites such as the Derwent Valley Mills in the Peak District to acknowledge their links to the slave trade. Lisa will talk about the pilot project (the past), the Slave Trade Legacies revisted (present) and the funding application she is preparing (future).
