This panel discussion will bring together speakers with expertise in the heritage of former Scottish commercial communities in Poland, the Netherlands and East Asia. Drawing comparisons across place and time, they will consider questions about networks, identity and memory in a transient environment with a particular focus on whether an understanding of past commercial migration can be of value in building relationships among communities coming to Scotland today.

George Square - Slavery & Abolition

Dr Michael Morris

Venue: Meet outside Glasgow City Chambers George Square, Glasgow G2 1DU

Black History Month

Glasgow’s George Square was laid out in 1781 and the statues, erected between 1819 and 1902, are designed to celebrate scientists, writers, military figures, politicians and royals. But these sculptures and monuments largely tell a sanitised story of Empire - whether a clean story of trade from the Clyde, or an orderly procession of colonised peoples paying tribute to a monarch. Dr. Michael Morris’s walk and talk looks to highlight a more difficult context and to provide a counter-narrative to this cleaned up history. Join him as he reveals a hidden history of Scotland’s complicated involvement in slavery associated with each and every one of the statues on display.
