Alex Renton & Thomas Harding

Britain’s Legacy of Slavery 

Does Britain have an amnesia problem when it comes to our role in the transatlantic slave trade? How do we reckon with this violent history, alongside the legacies of slavery which persist into the present? Join Alex Renton (Blood Legacy: Reckoning with a Family’s Story of Slavery) and Thomas Harding (White Debt: The Demerara Uprising and Britain’s Legacy of Slavery) as they grapple with these issues in conversation with Colin Grant, the author and director of WritersMosaic, historian, and expert on the Windrush Generation. 

Venue: Baillie Gifford Stage at The Old Divinity School
