The story of North Edinburgh’s fight for social justice goes up the toon!
Join Edinburgh Museums for a talk with Lynn McCabe from Royston and Wardieburn Community Centre and Willie Black a passionate local activist from North Edinburgh.
North Edinburgh has been a hotbed of community activism for decades. ‘Never Give Up’, was a book produced by North Edinburgh Social History Group in 2011 – a panoramic account of community activism in North Edinburgh, highlighting the previously largely ignored and barely mentioned community areas of Pilton, Drylaw, Royston, Wardieburn, Granton and Muirhouse.
Lynn McCabe reflects on how this publication is still deeply relevant and Willie Black talks about North Edinburgh today, and shares positive stories from this vibrant and resilient Edinburgh community.
Lynn and Willie’s NEVER GIVE UP talk takes place on 14 February – Valentine’s Day – at the City Art Centre at 2pm but you can book your free tickets NOW
