Weeping Window & Black Poppies THE Writing on the Wall present a fascinating
archive of letters and documents highlighting the plight of black soldiers,
seafarers, and workers in Liverpool following demobilisation in 1919. This
archive contains testimony from men from the Caribbean, West Africa and
other colonial territories, who had fought for England on land and at sea
during the Great War and were then left stranded, destitute and subject to
racial violence on the streets of Liverpool. This archive includes letters and testimony from soldiers and merchant seamen from the West Indies and the Caribbean, who had fought for England on land and at sea during the Great War of 1914, or had worked in factories in Liverpool, and had wives and children here. They were then subjected to verbal, physical and institutional racial abuse on the streets of Liverpool. They reveal their plight of daily racism and loss of jobs because of the boycott by white workers, a boycott often supported by the trades unions, and of being stranded in a country that no longer wanted them, even though they had fought for England during WW1. This tension led to the race riots of
1919, resulting in many serious assaults and attacks, and the death of
Charles Wootton, a Black seaman murdered by a White mob. The unique nature
of this material is that it contains the written word of those
ex-servicemen, sailors and workers who were being confronted with abuse and
assault, while facing destitution. This event will take place Every Saturday, throughout November (7 November, 14 November, 21 November and 28 November 2015) at the Liverpool Central Library. If you want to attend it is reminded that this event is free, but booking is strongly recommended. The event starts at 1pm, meeting at 'The Great War to Race Riots' exhibition on the 3rd Floor and runs until 3pm. Cut fuel bills this winter 1 in 9 households in Merseyside is currently living in fuel poverty. And as we approach winter one of the main questions for Merseyside residents is how to keep the costs down while keeping warm this winter. 1 way to combat the rising cost of fuel bills is to regularly switch supplier to get the cheapest tariff out there. A safe and easy way to do this is through a collective switching scheme such as the Merseyside Collective Switch.
