Equality & Diversity UK’s Anti-Racism Leadership Book Club aims to explore and discuss literature that enriches our understanding of race equality, diversity, and inclusion. Through thought-provoking discussions, they aim to create a space for open dialogue and shared learning.
On Wednesday 17 June, they will be discussing We Were There: How Black Culture, Resistance and Community Shaped Modern Britain by Lanre Bakare
We Were There by Lanre Bakare is an acclaimed, "vital" study of Black British history, focusing on cultural and social experiences outside London from the 1970s to the 1990s.
Reviews praise the book as a necessary, deeply researched "corrective" that shines a light on neglected stories in cities like Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Cardiff.
