#OnThisDay 50 years ago these girls led hundreds of us in a #schoolstrike for poetry, dignity and working class solidarity. It became quite the story…
Before Cockney Rebel made it, #SteveHarley was a reporter on the East London Advertiser where he covered 800 of us taking part in the 1971 #StepneyWords schoolkids' strike. Cockney Rebels indeed. RIP Steve.

Living history - just a bunch of old geezers meeting up at @oxhse to bang on about #StepneyWords, the Basement Writers and East End working class writing.
There's a major event coming up in London on Sat 7 Oct for anyone interested in working class writing, East End history, the great #StepneyWords school strike and all that, organised by @oxhse with @BrickLaneBooks - should be a good 'un.
Account of the events of 1971 and the publication of a small book of #poetry by students at Sir John Cass Secondary School - now reborn as Stepney All Saints School

Young poets at Stepney All Saints School meet with their forerunners from #StepneyWords to remember the 1971 publication and the #schoolkidsstrike that caused a national furore #50years ago @StepneyAS #eastend #anniversary @QMULsed @PoetrySociety @writerlytone @BrickLaneBooks
Angela Hancock from @StepneyAS talks about the school name change post #BlackLivesMatter and the changing world of the school from 1971 to now.

Amazing to hear from Julie Begum from @SwadhinataTrust at #StepneyWords talking about how we should write our own story to change the narrative and the anti-racism history of the East End.

Great to hear about the historical context of #stepneywords protest with our academics and guests including Judith Suissa and Tom Woodin from @IOE_London.

So good to hear about the touching story of the Stepney Words strike of 71 to help get Chris Searle’s job back. Chris was sacked from a school in Stepney for publishing his students' poems about their perspectives on the world around them. #StepneyWords

This #StepneyWords at 50 event on Sunday should be good - bringing together the classes of 1971 and 2021, among other things, thanks to @londoncurious, @qmulsed, @beinghumanfest and @stepneyas.

Our students on a walking tour of Stepney to find out more about the history and to help to inspire their poetry #StepneyWords #50years #anniversary @QMULsed
It was great to hear Chris Searle talk at #RaiseTheBanner to learn more about #StepneyWords & the #schoolstrike 50 years on. Also to hear once again the ever popular "I Live in the City" song by Tony Haynes @Grand_union setting one of Chris's pupil's poems to music
#OnThisDay 50 years ago our #StepneyWords dispute continued after the half-term break with smaller, sporadic #schoolstrikes. This one on 8 June 1971 even made the following day's Times, among other papers.
The #StepneyWords schoolkids' strike in East London happened on this day 50 years ago - the thread below might be of interest to you (and worth a RT?), @LBTHArchives @workingclasslit @_pasttense_ @EnglishRadical @wrkclasshistory

On the second day of the #StepneyWords #schoolstrike of 1971 we even marched all the way to Trafalgar Square. And back.
