This will be the first David Oluwale Annual Lecture delivered by Dr Kennetta Hammond Parry
Brief description of the lecture: David Oluwale’s story provides an unlikely introduction into the history of a nation. His is a history mostly recorded in the instances when he came to the attention of police, medical personnel, welfare officers and other authorities responsible for administering services rendered to citizens by the state. Yet despite living the majority of his life as a Black man in the shadows— homeless, precariously employed, repeatedly incarcerated, dependent on the state and in a country with fleeting familial connections or community networks—David Oluwale’s life provides an essential vantagepoint for understanding how the dynamics of race, class, gender and lack of status shaped what it means to be British.
Venue: Rose Bowl, Leeds Beckett University, Portland Crescent, Leeds LS1 3HB
This is a ‘pay as you feel’ event. Really, it’s fine to pay £1. All donations are used to support the educational and campaigning work of the #RememberOluwale charity. There will be refreshments served after the lecture and Q&A.
