The lecture will be followed by a Q&A, chaired by STUC Black Workers' Committee Chair, Cheral Govind and will also feature poetry from Afifa Khanam.

Tickets are free, but space is limited.

Wilf Sullivan is the former TUC Race Equality Officer and one of the country’s leading black trade unionists. Wilf retired from the TUC in March 2023 following decades of working within the labour movement in particular organising black workers. He has helped organise black workers in both industrial unions and public sector unions, helping lead the fight against low pay for marginalized and disadvantaged workers. A dedicated anti-racist and internationalist, Wilf has been involved in the fight against fascism from the 1970’s to the present day, including serving on the central Committee of Rock Against Racism, and supporting grassroots community anti-racist campaigns, as well as championing those on the frontlines of injustice globally.
