@GaryWashington @TheUrbancellist is on tour with his musical extravaganza, @The Story of A People Called Black. I spoke to Gary before the premiere, exploring Gary's story - the story of the people of the African diaspora - from #enslavement, to the #Cottonfields in the #DeepSouth, to Manchester aka #Cottonopolis - aligned to the legacy of Windrush, the Black reality today, 75 years on from the landing of MV Windrush in 1948.
On identity and belonging, adopted Mancunian Gary finds the approach to DEI, 3 years post George Floyd RIP, like a band-aid. Calling for #unity he says, \"we need to support each other better, and that needs to start with ourselves.\"
NB: This interview was recorded in June, just before the Premiere of The Story of A People Called Black @Niamos
