A £3.5 million project is transforming a Georgian townhouse in Islington into Europe's first anti-apartheid cultural centre, recognizing its historical significance where the ANC operated. The location has ties to notable ANC figures, including Oliver Tambo, and was site of a bombing linked to South African agents in 1988. Local school pupils have engaged in social justice educational projects to commemorate the site. The Liliesleaf Trust, overseeing the initiative, will feature a permanent exhibition and archive set to launch in autumn, highlighting the importance of learning from past injustices to combat current racism and inequality.
This site played a key role for 16 years in the international opposition to apartheid... We must learn from the terrible errors of the past to tackle racism and inequality in society.
The charity behind the project, the Liliesleaf Trust, plans a permanent exhibition and archive when it opens in the autumn.
Pupils and staff at the school have been working on projects on social justice... funded by Islington Council and the National Lottery.
