About this Event
C.L.R. James was an Afrikan heritage historian born on the Caribbean Island of Trinidad, among other things James was a social activist, writer, philosopher and journalist who made critical contributions to Pan-African, anti-racist and Marxist thought. Continuing this Pan-African activist tradition, the Dalston CLR James Library bears his name as a result of community activism in the 1980s and again in 2010. Join us for a late afternoon of reflection on the contributions and legacies of CLR himself and some of those inspired by his work and struggles. The event will be hosted by the CLR James Legacy Project and will feature a special guest speaker.
