ONLINE FESTIVAL

From the 14th-18th September comes an exclusively curated series of artistic responses to the history of the 1919 Race Riots.

At this very moment, the UK government is trying to fire up anti-migrant rhetoric; demonise muslims; portray knife-crime as a black pathology. It allows black people to be harassed, unlawfully detained and murdered without recourse to justice.

These historical accounts seem almost deliberately forgotten and read like a portent of civil unrest to come!

Immigrant communities encouraged to tear each other apart; whilst the streets burned, a disdainful elite were never held to account. Hundreds of black people were forcibly deported yet the slum housing, Spanish flu and infant mortality continued uninterrupted.

Hull Merchant Shipping Office - 1919 and 1920 saw violent clashes between black sailors and unemployed white mobs.

Pease Street - in June 1920 a large mob chased a black man Marell Pigott to his lodgings. Two houses in Lower Union Street and 72, 74 Pease Street were vandalised

Lodgings for Black and Arab sailors on Lister Street were attacked.

Naval Memorial - Encouraged by a trade union appeal to get rid of Chinese workers, Black ‘Britisher’ sailors turned and violently attacked their Chinese counterparts.

“It’s interesting to speculate whether black sailors in Hull were only deemed ‘British’ when they took action in support of white sailors..” (Jacqueline Jenkinson)
