An incredible weekend spent with dedicated teachers, exploring African history, experiences in the Caribbean, the Middle Passage and the lasting legacies of enslavement in Scotland. Huge thanks to all who participated!
Huge thanks to @ChristineHWhyte @peggybrunache and the rest of the ‘Teaching Slavery in Scotland’ team for such an informative and enjoyable residential. It was good to be a student again and be part of such an open minded, thought provoking team.

Lost in Glasgow last night. Cormac's fiddle and viola disappeared in Glasgow around midnight somewhere between the Barrowland Ballroom and Double Tree hotel on Cambridge St.
Both were in the one case, similar to pictured below.
REWARD OFFERED.
Thanks x

A real credit to the group this year. Well done to all involved for helping at such fantastic events in our local communities 👏 🏃♀️ @S4LHSYT
12 weeks of volunteering @parkrunUK completed for their DoE. Including each taking a turn as Run Director delivering the main briefing to all the participants which many adults would be scared to do. They have been a credit to @S4LHSYT @LHSDofE

Nov. 8, 1923: Adolf Hitler launches his Beer Hall Putsch. The Nazi Party leader and 600 storm troopers seize the Munich building where much of Bavaria’s leadership has gathered, and declare a German revolution. They vow to march on Berlin to establish a new far-right state. 1/10

I'm honestly puzzled by the desire of western historians to tame the 1889-90 Ghost Dance,
making it into a religion of accommodation,
instead of (what I think it was), an anti-colonial movement.
