“It is an honour to be exhibited as a part of history and provided with an opportunity to share my story with children in Birmingham, UK. It was a journey shared by thousands of youth who marched for freedom during the spring of 1963. Today, the struggle continues. Young people need to be informed by hearing the realities of the past. Hopefully, they will be able to relate and learn from the past as a catalyst for change in a peaceful manner today.” Janice Kelsey, Author of I Woke Up With My Mind on Freedom

This event was due to take place in Birmingham, UK on April 4th, the date of Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s assassination as a way of continuing his legacy and the struggle against racism, poverty and war. It was postponed due to the pandemic and our exhibition programme at the Library of Birmingham cut short after a tremendous launch and month of activities with our partners in the city.
