'An advert for a 19th-century British slaver’s ship has been discovered in Liverpool, where a site formerly at the centre of the transatlantic trade in enslaved people is being transformed into a “contemplation space”, highlighting a long-hidden history.'

Last Saturday, members of YHP went to the event 'Painted with Care: Celebrating African Women in British Healthcare' at The Africa Centre, to commemorate our project: 'African Women in British Healthcare, 1930 - 2000'. #EachOneTeachOne✊🏿

This is on Facebook, I scrolled for a bit and every single comment I saw, no exaggeration, was either "you liar, too many foreigners, vote Reform" or "you're meant to be the Labour Party what is this fash shit". There was nobody going "thank you, Sir Keir".

stancil calls the idea that US racism influenced hitler a "buzzy and incorrect take" in the replies to this, but hitler literally wrote about being influenced by US immigration policy in mein kampf. like he just says it outright, it's not an inference or a guess or anything. he wrote it himself!

Somehow I have amassed 12 followers (including some pretty big names for some reason), which is about half of the followers I had on *that* website. So thank you.

#OTD (20th April 1975): Today is the 50th Anniversary of founding of the Black Parents Movement (BPM). This organisation was established by black people of African and Caribbean descent in Britain to defend and advance the interests of the black population #EachOneTeachOne✊🏿

Labour’s swingeing cuts to benefits continue a long tradition of equating human worth with participation in paid employment — an unnecessary, immoral, counterproductive way to run a society.

Obviously things have got dramatically worse in the US recently, and I don't want to diminish that, but I've been at *so many* conferences in the UK on topics like empire, humanitarianism and development where multiple speakers from the Global South have been denied visas or held at the border

they are busy insider trading

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

UPDATE: Alireza Doroudi — an Iranian University of Alabama engineering PhD student detained by ICE yesterday — is being held in the Jena/LaSalle Detention Facility in Louisiana. The same place Mahmoud Khalil was taken to. His lawyer & student activists say Doroudi was not involved in protests.

Consider this. 6 people in plainclothes approach you, and begin to cover their faces. At least one appears armed. As they grab your phone and backpack, they do not prove who they are. They say they're going to take you, but they're not saying why. What would you call that?

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Nearly 1000 teachers, academics, and more are mounting an academic boycott of Columbia. Columbia "is colluding with the current U.S. government's project to destroy higher education and criminalize protest," they say. Signers include Noura Erakat, Marc Lamont Hill, Ruha Benjamin.

you often see partisan political cheerleading compared to sports, but most sports fans i've met usually have some opinions about the tactics of their favorite team, or are even willing to criticize the management when they make bad calls. political cheerleaders are less sophisticated than that

Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free." - For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza. 23 and he knew to leave a death note.

UPDATE: Basel Adra, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land,” says co-director Hamdan Ballal is receiving treatment in the hospital after being beaten by Israeli settlers, and then Israeli soldiers. Soldiers “left him blindfolded and handcuffed” at a base last night.

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him. Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Sickening

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him. He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving. He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

Liz Kendall and Rachel Reeves are specifically planning to cause extreme poverty to and kill disabled people. When are we marching as this CANNOT stand.

In September 2024, YHP unveiled our third commemorative mural as part of our project celebrating historical African women in healthcare. Installed outside Guy's Hospital in London, the mural features six impactful healthcare workers from a range of time periods. #EachOneTeachOne✊🏿

Horrifying. These children will be hurt and trafficked. What a ghoulish administration.

The Young Historians Project is deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of our longtime collaborator and friend Marika Sherwood. A veteran educator and pioneering historian, Marika dedicated her life to research and inspiring future generations.

When people post pictures of themselves asking chatgpt questions instead of links or sources or anything, thats really when I start to suspect hmmm maybe I am having a stroke maybe I am experiencing a stroke related hallucination

Any historians / books on Kierkegaard?

The thing about MAGA is they believe the U.S. has some sort of innate magnificence that other countries just bow down to as a matter of course. They "don't" understand that as soon as they pull out, other countries are going to step in and fill the gaps ASAP (for better or worse).

Very informative article on epidemic of the lack of Black British History here in the UK, possible reasons for why that is and how YHP (as well as teachers etc.) can aid in attempting to rectify this issue.

Being lectured on politics by people who think endorsements from celebrity and globally-despised war criminals are how you win elections, after losing an election with this strategy to a twice-impeached felon and the least funny person in the history of the world, is wild.
