LES GUERRES CIVILES GRECQUES (1943-1949)

A new exhibition at the Library, To Make That Future Now!, celebrates the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Manchester and Salford Trades Council.

For 150 years the Trades Council has fought, not only for socialism and trade union rights, but also against injustices such as poverty, discrimination and unemployment - and, as two separate institutions since 1975, it still carries on the struggle.

Open Wednesdays to Fridays 1-5pm and the first Saturday in May, June and July 10am-4pm. The exhibition runs until 26 August.

On May 10th, Gerhard de Kok (Leiden University) will give a lecture on: “Cursed Capital: The Economic Impact of the Transatlantic Slave Trade on Walcheren around 1770”

Date: May 10th, 2016
Time: 12.30-14.00 hrs
Place: room C76, Leeuwenborch
