The Movement for Racial Justice Exhibition

(Saturday 7^th Feb – Thursday 12^th Feb 2026)

This February, we will be hosting the MRJ Colonial Slavery and Its Legacy exhibition.

MJR believes that the legacy of colonial slavery impacts us all, nationally and individually. To explain how, we have developed an exhibition on this legacy for use as a resource for schools, museums, libraries, local organisations, community groups or churches. Consisting of eight information panels and an interactive desk, the exhibition looks at the history and the ongoing effects on the descendants, not just of those who suffered, but of those who benefitted.

As well as educating about colonial slavery (largely glossed over in British schools) the exhibition seeks to answer the question: “What has this got to do with Britain today?” The aim is not to produce a guilt trip but to get people thinking about their respective “unearned privilege and daily indignities” and to ask why the silence and historical amnesia on the facts and effects of slavery.

Admission free, donations welcome.
