@100YearsAgoNews Hi would it be possible to confirm where you found the picture from please? I'm trying to do some research on the Glasgow Indian Union

Save The People's Story!

Edinburgh has an important, rich and diverse working-class history which has ben rightfully celebrated in an important museum for the last 40 years. Please share the Scottish Labour History Society statement and contact your councillors.

Recent events have reminded me of this important research by @h_p_dee on the racist murder of Axmed Abuukar Sheekh in Edinburgh in 1989 along with the protests that followed: Fighting Denial: The Lothian Black Forum and Anti-Racist Protests in Edinburgh. https://t.co/OhUIlv1Vde

Another recent work on histories of xenophobia, this one by @h_p_dee taking a more critical look at the politics of activists featured in Tom Lodge's 'Red Road to Freedom':

Thanks to Ina Cogger, Catherine and Edward Labinjoh, Emma Orchardson, Margaret White, Jacqueline Cahif, Robin Fixter-Paterson, Estela Dukan, Louise Williams and Margaret Busby for invaluable help with this research.

[Henry Dee @h_p_dee]

Alfred Labinjoh was a prominent doctor in Edinburgh, 1920s to 1950s, from Lagos, Nigeria, who worked with the local Edinburgh African Association in the mid-1930s to raise money for the Red Cross mission to Ethiopia after fascist Italy’s invasion.

@mininghistory Kadalie wrote to his son in July 1943 (after staying with Yusuf Dadoo) "Johannesburg surprised me. It reminded me of London. It has grown like [a] mushroom.”

[Henry Dee @h_p_dee]

@mininghistory thanks Duncan!

[Henry Dee @h_p_dee]

@KampourakisK Hi Kostas, it's from Emory University archives. Can you DM me your contact, and I can put you in touch

[Henry Dee @h_p_dee]

Edinburgh University has a long-running history of fostering eugenicists' scientific racism, and has done little-to-nothing to address this past, with current academics continuing to perpetuate these ideas

[Henry Dee @h_p_dee]

@mininghistory @LaScNo Thanks Duncan - we've just had a chapter out in a book, 'Scotland's Transnational Heritage', reflecting on the project. Happy to share

[Duncan Money @mininghistory]

Our article about the insurrection that convulsed Johannesburg in 1922, the Rand Revolt, is now available to read for free in the latest edition of @AmandlaMedia:

Come and do a #funded #phd or #postdoc at the International Studies group @UFSweb. It is an amazing group of early career scholars, working together in a collegial environment. Get in touch with questions!

This Thursday, David Johnson and I will launch our book - ‘I See You’: The Industrial and Commercial Workers’ Union of Africa, 1919-1930 - an edited volume of primary sources documenting the dramatic rise and fall of the ICU, the first major black trade union in Southern Africa

[Henry Dee @h_p_dee]
