There are good examples of keeping positive heritage alive. #Teesside has a rich history of opposing fascism - In trenches, on beaches, in the skies and in the streets. We should never forget that it always takes ordinary people to make a difference.

From the beginning of Creative Factory, we've tried to stick by 'Listen and learn from what you don't know, share what you do.' Seems more important every day. #BlackLivesMatter
