Local History @ Kitty's : The Fight against Fascism in Liverpool 1923-1940

This talk will will explore the growth and the decline of fascism in our city between 1923-1940. It will outline the roots of the movement and of the opposition to it, even before the formation of the British Union of Fascists. Using contemporary sources Chris Jones will give a blow by blow account of fascism as it was on the streets. Now more than ever it is important to recall this history and learn lessons from those before us to apply in fighting against the growing far-right across our communties.
