“A key part of the recent Black Lives Matter movement has been the two main demands of addressing of the institutionalised racism BAME Scots face in their daily lives but also addressing Glasgow’s past slavery & colonial legacy writ large on our streets & statues. My poem aimed to address the question often raised with me: “Why didn’t we know about this?” Why weren’t we told about in school?”. It’s down to what my historian colleagues Dr Irma Jackson and Adebusola Ramsay called Glasgow’s “organised forgetting”. A city centre like ours with all the amazing heritage attractions it has to offer – are almost a stage-set for visitors to conjure up stories about us. It is those stories of slavery and empire they we don’t tell which I chose to tell in this work using the imagery of a fairground attraction “roll up, roll up, let the organised forgetting begin!””
