In the next three days over a third were killed and many were wounded but although driven from the field they re-grouped and stopped the Fascist attempt to cut the only supply road to Madrid and prevented the city from starving. In this battle 14 local men were killed. \nTo commemorate and celebrate this event there will be songs\, poetry and prose from the period and an exhibition of the North West’s involvement in the Spanish Civil War. \nRob Hargreaves author of ‘Beyond Peterloo’ and forthcoming book on Oldham’s Clem Beckett a local speedway star\, ‘Clem Beckett: motorcycle legend and war hero’\, will speak about the death of Clem Beckett at Jarama. \nThe morning will end with the laying of wreaths at the memorial to the local International Brigaders in Central Library. \n1-2 Break for Lunch. \n2-4 ‘Lillian and Madge the stories of two remarkable women: resisting Fascism in Spain and World War II’ \nA lecture by Chris Hall author of ‘The Nurse who became a Spy’: Madge Addy’s war against fascism’ \nAfter the lecture there will be a chance to ask questions\, buy a copy of Chris Hall’s book\, speak to members of the North West International Brigades Group and look at the exhibition on the Spanish Civil War. \nFind out more information about the International Brigade Memorial Group here.

SUMMARY:Breaking the News Exhibition and Archive Handling Sessions
DESCRIPTION:The news has the power to make or break elections\, to change the course of history or to alter our perspective on the city and country we live in. We expect the news to speak truth to power\, but can it ever really be objective? Is your news the same as everyone else’s? How do you use the news to navigate the world around you? \nCentral Library will be hosting a series of pop-up handling sessions tied in with the new Breaking the News Exhibition at the British Library.The sessions will be looking at how major local\, regional and international events have been reported using the original newspapers and magazines from the time. Come and see how the major events of the last 200 years were reported. \nHow did local and national newspapers reflect the two World Wars and the struggle for Women’s Rights. \nHow did the Manchester Evening News report significant local events from the Munich Air Crash to the Manchester Blitz. \nHow does a newspaper’s own perspective (Socialist Worker\, Gay Times\, Private Eye affect the way it reports on the world). \nThe display runs from February 24th until August 21th 2022 and alongside the display panels we will be running regular weekly handling sessions. Dates for the handling sessions will be announced very soon. \nBreaking the News: The Launch Debate will be live streamed from Leeds Central Library this Thursday 24th February at 7pm. You can register for this FREE event here. \nThe major new Breaking the News Exhibition will be at the British Library from 22 April to 21 August 2022. \n#BreakingTheNews
