We’re so proud that our display is now up in @MuseumLiverpool - congratulations to our heritage lead @kerriemcgiv for making this happen.
It celebrates working class history in our city, in particular the often hidden domestic work of women. We dedicate this to them 💚

The Royal Historical Society is appalled today to see our colleague, Fellow, and Vice President @OlivetteOtele subjected to racist hate mail. This underscores the need to deepen our commitment to addressing the inequalities which foster such vile, unacceptable attitudes.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It’s a day for the whole community to come together to remember the dead and fight for the living ✊
