Abolition of slave trade marked in Wokingham
Council is pleased to host a question time event organised by the African Caribbean Society (Wokingham).
Question Time, on Friday March 23 at 7pm, will be both educational and informative, highlighting the cruel enslavement of African people, their liberation and the contribution Black people have made to science, the arts, medicine, world economy and community cohesion.
A panel of four prominent members of the Black community will take questions for the audience. They include Jim Braithwaite, a successful businessman and Chair of the South East England Development Agency, and Simon Woolley of Operation Black Vote.
This is a free event open to all and light refreshments will be served.
Pol Exeter, Chair of the ACS-Wokingham, said: “We are proud to be doing something useful and educational to commemorate this important anniversary. We encourage the entire community to attend this event to put their questions to the very knowledgeable panellists or just to listen to the discussion.”
