Dear Friends of The Reid Foundation,
The 2019 annual lecture is now only two months away, on Thursday 10 October.
In conjunction with the University of Glasgow, the lecture will be given by Scotland’s leading human rights lawyer, Aamer Anwar. Currently, Aamer is the Rector of the University of Glasgow, as Jimmy Reid was in the early 1970s, and will give the lecture in the Bute Hall where Jimmy gave his famous rectorial address in 1972 called ‘Alienation’ and known as the ‘rat race is for rats’ speech.
The title of Aamer’s lecture is ‘The struggle for justice, equality and freedom in Scotland’.
In it, he will not only discuss the state of justice, equality and human rights in Scotland but also examine how the battle for these can be pursued in the face of opposition from the Scottish establishment.
Tickets for the lecture can be purchased here.
We look forward to seeing you on the night.
Any Reid Foundation sustaining members are eligible for a free ticket – please email us back on this address if you wish to take up this option.
Yours sincerely
Gregor Gall, Director
