Uncovering African presence in Merseyside with Laurence Westgaph

Admission Free
Start Time 13:00
End Time 14:00

Join National Museums Liverpool’s historian in residence Laurence Westgaph to learn about the enslaved people who lived in Merseyside during the 18th century.

The records of their lives are fragmentary but what survives in parish records, newspapers and memoirs gives us a glimpse into the African presence in the region during the transatlantic slave trade and beyond.

The event is free and held Lady Lever Art Gallery, 24 March, 1-2pm.
