Slavery Remembrance Day (SRD) in 2023 will once again see Liverpool and its communities recognise the history and ongoing legacy of the transatlantic slave trade through a series of events, conversations and artistic responses. Â
As well as marking the day itself (Wednesday 23 August) with a Walk of Remembrance, there will be a number of events happening alongside from the 20-27 August. Through these activities and activations, in person and online, NML will reflect, remember, and encourage learning from the injustices of the past and examine how we can work together to prevent them from happening again.
Central to the 2023 programme is the Dorothy Kuya Slavery Remembrance Memorial Lecture. This years lecture – delivered by Professor Hakim Adi – will take place on 22 August at Liverpool Town Hall.
