SUMMARY:Shareholders & Slavery
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome Laurence Westgaph to the Athenaeum to talk about the institution’s links to the transatlantic trade in enslaved people. Many of our early Proprietors benefitted\, directly or indirectly\, form this heinous trade. \nSome of you will remember the fascinating and enlightening presentation Laurence gave over two years ago about this important subject. Since then\, the Liverpool Black History Research Group has continued to research the topic and you will find further details of their findings on our website under the heading ‘The Athenaeum and Slavery’. It is a vast subject and the club continues to support LBHRG in its efforts to uncover more of this once hidden history. \nLaurence and his colleagues will discuss the discoveries they have made and the next stage of their research. \nLiverpool Black History Group (LBHRG) has been established for some 5 years and is led by Laurence Westgaph. It is a collective of volunteers who sit outside academia. Through its research\, it seeks to highlight the importance of the slave economy to Liverpool’s growth in the late 18th and early 19th centuries\, and the city’s history as home to the oldest black community in Europe. Further information is available via www.LBHRG.com \nThe presentation will be followed by a three-course meal in the Dining Room. If you wish to attend the presentation but not the dinner\, you may do so without charge but please book a place. We expect there to be a high demand for places\, so please book early. \nTickets: £37.00
