In publishing we have so far to go. So far. We can’t kid ourselves that as nice, liberal people we are immune from needing to do the work. Our industry is riddled with racism. We have to educate ourselves and then show up. Every. Single. Day. #BlackLivesMatter

[Quercus Books @QuercusBooks]

The events in Minnesota and beyond have, once again, highlighted the structural racism and inequality in our society.

We know that publishing is no exception to this.

We stand with our Black colleagues, authors, readers, booksellers, librarians, reviewers.

#BlackLivesMatter

[Evelyn Akoto @evenor23]

Today we held meeting 5 of the maternity commission to discuss the 5 emerging themes.
Recent CQC report stated that births of babies to black mothers are almost twice as likely to be investigated for failings.

How many more damming reports before we see improvements?

@TheRestHistory Other than Thomas More, were there any serious voices in the Tudor period which questioned the morality / efficacy of death sentences? Or was the necessity / inevitability of executions generally accepted? #RIHlive
