A major highlight of the Black History Month celebrations in Liverpool was a visit from the son of a key campaigner in the fight for civil rights.
Organised by the Liverpool Culture Company, renowned vascular surgeon Dr Julius Garvey MD, the son of the late civil rights activist and campaigner The Rt Honourable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, visited the city.
Dr Garvey gave a talk at Liverpool John Moores University's Redmonds Building, with students and invited guests, including the Mayor of Liverpool, Joanne Anderson. He visited community organisations and individuals at the Caribbean Centre, Mandela8 and the Kuumba Imani Centre in Toxteth, before finishing the day with a discussion with community artist Maxine Brown at the International Slavery Museum.
