Dr Tim Lockley, Associate Professor, History, and Reader in Comparative American Studies, took part in last week's symposium on 'Slavery & Freedom in Savannah' in Georgia, US. The event included giving talks on black Savannah history to 300 local people and school children.

Tim's lecture subject was 'The King of England's Soldiers' which focused on armed blacks in Savannah and its hinterlands during the revolutionary war era of 1778-1787. Tim teaches Comparitive American Studies at Warwick, and is Assistant Editor of 'Slavery & Abolition'.
