On 19th December, Writing on the Wall unveiled the Black Poppies exhibition in Liverpool Central Library. The poppies were hand crafted by members of the community and curated by artist, Faith Bebbington. The Black Poppy sculpture is designed to raise awareness of the events of 1919 and the historic experience of Liverpool’s black community and to highlight the sacrifices made by Black families during the First World War and the period that followed.
Thank you to Levi Tafari, Faith Bebbington and Anna Rothery for all their help on the day and support of the Great War to Race Riots project. Remember the archive is available to look at online here.
Get down to the Liverpool Central Library to see the exhibition and learn about the history From Great War to Race Riots. (Archive on 3rd floor).
