Here to Stay: Women of Colour and Community Activism in Newham in the 1980s

Newham Heritage Month presents this free online talk:

Gulshun Rehman, co-founder of Newham Asian Women’s Group, talks about setting up the group against the political backdrop of Thatcher’s new Conservative government and the rise of the National Front. Now a Trustee of the East End Women’s Museum, Gulshun will be joined by Rachel Crossley, Museum Director, to share her memories of the time and parallels today. Including a discussion and audience Q&A.
