How did #Matchfest22 go (&did the fash turn up as promised)?

Here’s a look at the amazing day we had at @BowArts on Saturday.

First to join me round the table (we don’t do stages- or PowerPoints): @carolinebressey & @SuffragetteKate, on women fighting racism through history ImageImage
Caroline discovered incredible new information about this woman, Catherine Impey, who set up an anti racist journal, with her mum & sister, *in 1888!* Same year the Matchwomen went on strike.

Catherine lived in Street, Somerset. Image
Visiting 1870s America, Catherine was horrified by the racism.
She met with Black activists including legends like Frederick Douglass & Ida B Wells.

This is our riposte to the old excuse ‘well everyone was racist THEN’!
