Tonight the book launch tour culminates with an event in New York City. This is going to be incredibly special as it will be at the Henry Street Settlement which Sylvia Pankhurst visited and deeply admired. She remained in contact with the Settlement's founder, Lillian D. Wald, after her return to Britain. The room we are meeting in is one that Sylvia Pankhurst almost certainly describes in her manuscript (come and see if you think I'm right!) and was one of the places that brought the NAACP into being. So, this is an immensely special place filled with working-class, anti-racist and feminist history.
I am going to be in discussion about Sylvia Pankhurst's revolutionary text with the brilliant Dana Mills - like Sylvia, a writer who reflects on the past and an activist who tries to change the present. I look forward immensely to her book on Rosa Luxemburg as well as to discussing the radical dancers and artists that Sylvia encountered in NYC.
Please come and join me for what should be a very special night celebrating radical history and talking about what lessons we can learn. Tonight. 265 Henry Street, New York City, 10002. 6:30pm. Reserve your free ticket
