Event overview
Launching the Renegade Raconteurs Series: An Evening with Darcus Howe
The Renegade Raconteurs Series will celebrate key figures of modern British history, people whose activism, and determination illustrates just how much our society as a whole benefits from the mesh of cultures, ethnicities and experiences that constitute contemporary Britain.
The series begins with Darcus Howe, the pioneering political activist, broadcaster and writer who exemplifies a vivid lesson in the 3Rs as: Radical, Renegade, Raconteur. In the presence of family, friends, supporters, young people and Goldsmiths students and staff, Darcus will reflect upon his life and times in its many forms. In particular, Goldsmiths' position in the heart of New Cross, recalls poignantly, the work Darcus spearheaded with others in the wake of the tragedy of the Fire, the clarion call to value the lives of Britain's black citizens - a movement from which there has been no turning back.
Expect an evening of anecdotes, opinions, music, and audience contributions, as we celebrate and honour a remarkable, longstanding, and unique voice in Black British history.
