Last Thursday we had our book launch at the Central Library (near the archive office). Great turn out. Thanks to all who attended. LCC shared on SM on Saturday. No surprise what the 1st response was... What about... 😫

My grandmas were immigrants, my mum & sisters in law are immigrants; my sister & nephews are migrants. My kids study maths, Shakespeare, dance, act & score tries alongside the kids of immigrants. My dad’s life was saved by immigrants. Immigrants have made us richer, wiser, stronger Win the fight

1. Very proud to present our research with Katie Amery at the Historical Association Conference in our home city. It’s been an inspiring two days of lectures, presentations, and rich conversations—and the sun came out to show the port of Liverpool at its finest. #hafconf25

Superb work from @colinmccormick.bsky.social and @katieamery.bsky.social - genuinely inspiring and can’t wait to read the book about Liverpool and the Transatlantic Slave Trade #haconf25

Evidence-based, ‘balanced’ history like this is conducive to national cohesion in modern Britain. Far right denialism & justification of colonialism is not.
