William Morris Society in the United States
Statement in support of Black Lives Matter
‘I do not want art for a few, any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.’
--William Morris, ‘The Lesser Arts’, 1882
‘Times of change, disruption, and revolution are naturally times of hope also.’
--William Morris, ‘The Hopes of Civilization’, 1888
As a Society bearing the name of William Morris, who worked tirelessly to create a more just and beautiful world, we acknowledge our responsibility to fight against racial injustice. We pledge to examine our policies and programming to explore how they could better honor William Morris’s legacy. We will work to increase the diversity of our membership and of our governing committee. The William Morris Society in the United States believes Black Lives Matter.

Hope you don't mind me leaving a comment here. In a forum (https://libcom.org/forums/organise/spainish-dock-workers-union-19032014?page=3) you mentioned Mick Parkin and I was wondering whether you knew him personally. He was one of my closest friends, and died in December 2018. Feel free to get in touch if you wish (chris10585@gmail.com) or ignore this if you prefer.
Regards
Chris
