This discussion took place on 25th May 2021, the anniversary of the murder of George Floyd. A year after individuals and organisations stood in solidarity against state violence, how much progress has really been made? What actions must now be taken to oppose racism and white supremacy in our communities, society and around the world?

Hear from Diane Abbott (Member of Parliament for Hackney North and Stoke Newington) and George Shire (cultural theorist), led in discussion by our Chair Bea Udeh (creative entrepreneur and author).

Arcola’s series of free, online discussions, #ArcolaConversations, provide a chance to reconnect with the community, explore big ideas and imagine the future together at this time of historic upheaval.
