  • After learning that the #countgleichen bust of #maryseacole was going under the hammer at @dominicwinterauctioneers today, we gathered a group of committed friends and family for the preservation of truth and justice to attempt to keep it in the public realm. The role call of generous donors is below @elephantshortfilmlondon @dopdaniel_ @riverfishmusic @jpdaniel65 @niluferyanyaaaaaa @simscott3 ( plus Dominic Scott) @apocalypticvirgin @beatieedney @sandraandali @cemil_yanya @elif_yanyaaaa @natwestlondon Tabitha Ritchie @bigtomatocompany . Sadly we did not have success in the sale room today as it went for £102,000. ( WOW) Thank you guys - you are #truephilanthropists We did ask @greeneking_official to join us on Monday morning as they so publicly stated in the @guardian on the 18/7/20 that it was ‘inexcusable of their founder to have profited from slavery’ to the tune of £500,000 in today’s money .... They declined. What an opportunity wasted I say, the #maryseacole terracotta bust of 30cms is such a tiny thing but the historical reparative justice would have been immense. Cheers.....🍅

  • In 1993 a Mr J B Webb loaned this Mary Seacole terracotta bust to The Black Cultural Archives in Brixton for an exhibition on the part she played nursing sick and injured soldiers in the Crimean war. This bust by Count Gleichen comes up for sale on Wednesday the 29th of July. In 1993 @bcaheritage made a humble request that it might be donated to them as it was of such interest to the visitors. Sadly it is up for sale rather than donated. In 2013, while he was Minister for education , Michael Gove MP tried to remove Mary Seacole from the curriculum. He failed but the ‘Hostile Environment’ the Windrush generation faced and on this sad day when we learned of the death of Paulette Wilson, let us make a promise to ourselves and our ancestors that we REFUSE to be rubbed out of the history books. Let us collectively purchase this bust of Mary Seacole for the Black Cultural Archives on Wednesday .... Who is with me? #dominicwintersauctioneers #bcaheritage #maryseacole

  • Powerful typography that struck a chord for me before Covid times hit ... Exhibition was Victorian blogging - the pamphleteers who dared to dream of a better world ... #anniebesant was my kind of woman. #think #act #bethechange Support #conwayhallethicalsociety if you can - London is richer for these venues. #doorsopen #saveourvenues
