SUMMARY:In conversation with Billy Bragg
DESCRIPTION:Manchester Histories are delighted to welcome Billy Bragg to open the commemorations of Peterloo 2019. \nSongwriter\, musician and activist Billy Bragg will be in conversation with writer and broadcaster Dave Haslam\, with an introduction from Young Identity\, Manchester’s young spoken word collective. \nAt a time when opinion trumps facts and truth is treated as nothing more than another perspective\, free speech has become a battleground. While authoritarians and algorithms threaten democracy\, we argue over who has the right to speak. In this short and vital polemic\, Billy Bragg argues that to protect ourselves from encroaching tyranny\, we must look beyond this one dimensional notion of what it means to be free and\, by reconnecting liberty to equality and accountability\, restore the individual agency engendered by the three dimensions of freedom. \nThe event will be followed by an audience Q&A and Billy will be signing copies of his new book The Three Dimensions of Freedom. Copies of the book will also be available to purchase\, with support from Blackwell’s University Bookshop.) Bar till 9pm.
