Dorothy Kuya Slavery Remembrance Lecture

Ndaba Mandela, grandson of the beloved and iconic Nelson Mandela, has accepted an invitation to deliver the Dorothy Kuya Slavery Remembrance Lecture on Friday 21 August, as part of National Museums Liverpool’s plans for the city’s sixteenth annual Slavery Remembrance Day.

This annual event has been renamed in honour of Dorothy Kuya. She was one of the country's leading figures in combating inequality and a tireless anti-racism campaigner who fought all her life for truth and justice. Dorothy lived in Liverpool and was part of the steering group instrumental in transforming and developing National Museums Liverpool's Transatlantic Slavery Gallery into the International Slavery Museum, which opened in 2007. It is fitting that her name should live on to educate and inspire future generations.
