Waterstones Gower Street

Last week, I joined Dr Brooke Newman at the Gower Street Waterstones for the UK launch of her book, 'The Crown's Silence'.

We talked about the Monarchy's central role in developing, expanding and protecting the slave trade and what can be done to address this institutional legacy.

I'm joining Dr Brooke Newman at Waterstones Gower Street on Friday evening for the UK launch of her new book, 'The Crown’s Silence'.

The Monarchy’s leading role in the enslavement and colonisation of African people is really important history that needs to be much more widely understood.
