Thanks for this Echo, I'll book a couple of those events.

Interested to hear about his initiatives on reparations and higher education and the Glasgow Uni/University of West Indies project. I vaguely remember Dh telling me about this but had not paid much attention at the time.

I've booked also. I get a lot of stuff through to me from there, I must remember to post relevant things here. There was a FOI request to the University a few years ago now about " slave money". The University itself came into being a while after abolition. However, it turns out that:

Earles, Gladstones, Heywoods, Shands, Tinnes, Sandbachs, Brooks, Branckers, Cases and Tobins, were all involved with the transatlantic slave trade in Liverpool. Seen as philanthropists, because of their donations to the forerunner of the University - The Liverpool Royal Institution.

Also interested in the higher education initiatives Maggie

Thanks for this information @EchoNan. I'm looking forward to joining these events.
