Lecture: Slavery & St George's- Who lies here?
A public lecture given by Malik Al Nasir on Sunday 1st October 2023.
Malik Al Nasir is an author, poet and academic from Liverpool. His
memoir ‘Letters to Gil’ is a compelling account of his childhood
experiences in a brutal UK Local Authority care system, which at
eighteen, left him traumatised, semi-literate, homeless, and destitute. A chance meeting with poet and activist Gil Scott-Heron was to prove life changing, setting him on a path to success. Malik is currently reading for a PhD in history at University of Cambridge on a full ESRC scholarship, and he’s recently been awarded the prestigious ‘Sydney Smith Memorial Prize’ for ‘outstanding achievement’ at St Catharine’s College, Cambridge as well as The Vice Chancellors Award for ‘Global Impact’.
This event was in partnership with PollyPort CIC and Writing on the Wall.
