THIS year the TUC Black Workers Conference will be a virtual affair with a range of online workshops, panel debates and meetings, including a virtual art exhibition.
Over the past year black workers and their communities have faced a tremendous battle against a tidal wave of racism — inluding the murder of George Floyd and a number of other black people at the hands of the state in the US and in Wales at the start of this year with the death of Mohamud Hassan.
Black people here in Britain and globally have protested against the impacts of systemic and institutional racism and the TUC has established its Anti-Racism Taskforce.
