This webinar will explore the link between Beckford’s Tower in Bath and Tacky’s Rebellion which occurred in Jamaica in 1760.
Beckford’s Tower is running three new online webinars as part of its ongoing collaboration with State of Trust. These events, which are free for anybody to enjoy via online livestream, will be based on the important themes of the transatlantic slave trade, Tacky’s Rebellion, and the novel “Cane Warriors” by Guardian Prize winner Alex Wheatle. The facilitator for each event will be renowned journalist and broadcaster, Terry Baddoo.
This first webinar, “Beckford’s Tower & Tacky’s Rebellion”, on Wednesday 16 August 7-8pm, will feature the speakers Dr Amy Frost, Alex Wheatle & Deborah Baddoo.
