26th January

The London Socialist Historians Group, which organises the socialist history seminar at the Institute of Historical Research University of London paid tribute to Renee Good and Alex Pretti at a seminar on 26th January. They also sent solidarity to those protesting against ICE in Minneapolis.

LSHG Convenor Dr Keith Flett opened the seminar by noting that one job of socialist historians was to make sure that those who fight oppression and exploitation are remembered as are what they fought for. He also said that there was a fundamental duty of solidarity with protesters in Minneapolis. History is being made on the streets.

In the seminar Vassilis Fouskas spoke on Cyprus 1954-74 and the role of NATO in intervening in the Country’s affairs and using it as a military base. A summary and recording will be available shortly
