About this event

More than a left foot - by Bob Williams-Findlay

BOOK LAUNCH

Tuesday 23 June, 19:00 (BST)

The book places the struggles for the emancipation of disabled people within the context of Bob’s life journey. Bob traces his experience of life, discrimination and political awakening both as an individual and as part of a specific social group. This journey links disability politics to a wider politics within students, disabled peoples, trade union and labour movements. The book concludes with sober commentary of the on-going struggle against disablement and capitalism.

About the speakers

Bob Williams-Findlay has been a leading disability activist in Britain for thirty years appearing on TV and being a keynote speaker at numerous conferences. He has written numerous articles on Disability Politics and Social Oppression.

Sandra Daniels has known Bob for over twenty years. She was involved in Direct Action Network and other disability related campaigns. Sandra and Bob have worked around DPAC, XR Rebellion and Left Unity Disabled Members Caucus, as well as in other political activity.

Paul Mackney, Natfhe/UCU general Secretary (1997-2007), has known Bob Williams-Findlay for over forty years. Bob inducted Paul into an understanding of the social model approach of disability. Paul, as President of Birmingham Trades Council, was involved in establishing the Birmingham Trade Union Resource Centre which was associated, towards the end of the 1980s with a small disability rights campaign unit co-ordinated by Bob.
