THE annual commemoration marking Levellers’ Day had to be shifted into cyberspace this year, but the online event was passionate, inspiring and did a grand job in celebrating our revolutionary heroes.
There were rallying speeches, a moment of prayer and reflection, calls to action from contemporary campaigners, and music both rousing and melancholy.
The full day’s programme was curated by a group including the International Brigade Memorial Committee in Oxford and the TUC London East and South East.
The packed event brought together some 20 speakers and performers to mark the day, May 17 1649, when three soldiers were executed on Oliver Cromwell’s orders in Burford churchyard, Oxfordshire.
The event called Unsure about getting vaccinated? will be hosted on February 13. The online conversation will take place where individuals can ask BAME healthcare professionals who have received Covid vaccine s questions about their experiences. The online event invitation said: Join us for an online community conversation with BAME healthcare professionals, chaired by Jabu Nala-Hartley. The event is run by community members, for community members. We will create space for you to ask questions to respected healthcare professionals and to hear from community members who have received the vaccine about their experiences. Bring your friends, family, questions, and concerns. The event is organised by Oxford Community Action in partnership with Afrikan Heritage Community Association, Mothers 4 Justice Ubuntu, Oxford Coalition of Black Communities & Communities of Colour, Oxford Living Wage Campaign.
