What’s happening?
Following the murder of George Floyd on 25 May 2020, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has grown from a social media post to a global movement of grassroots organisations protesting for change.
Leeds Trinity University is hosting an in-person event to commemorate George Floyd and other Black lives, provide a platform for Black students, alumni, staff and Higher Education (HE) leaders to share their lived experiences, and reflect on changes since the resurgence of the BLM movement. The theme for this event will be focused on accountability, transparency and action.
The event will include:
• An introduction to the event from Leeds Trinity’s Race Equality Charter Partnership (REC-P) co-chair Professor Malcolm Todd, Deputy Vice-Chancellor
• External speaker Emily Howden sharing her life story as an anti-apartheid activist from South Africa, with Q and A from the audience
• A panel session with Black students, alumni, staff and HE leaders sharing their lived experiences
• A poem recital from Leeds Trinity alumni Macy Iwediebo
