We are saddened & appalled at the brutal murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. We stand in solidarity with the #BlackLivesMatter movement. More than ever it is important to know our history. End racism. If not now, then when? #BlackLivesMatterUK #BlackLivesMatterMinneapolis

This is an interesting and serious proposal from the Alexander Thomson Society to save the long derelict Egyptian Halls a new Museum of Slavery (and we should also say of Colonialism and Empire). It should be seriously considered by the Council.
