The 2nd Voices of Windrush Lecture
Following on from Martin Forde KC’s brilliant
Voices of Windrush Lecture 2023, we’re delighted that Professor Gus John will deliver the Voices of Windrush Lecture 2024. Professor John, an academic, writer and campaigner for rights in education, will deliver a lecture entitled, “Race and the State We Are In.” Following on from the UK race riots this summer, Professor John will explore the implications and ramifications for Black people in Britain, and how these times are to be navigated.
