Liverpool-born author, poet, and academic, Malik Al Nasir, will be delivering a thought-provoking lecture titled 'The Truth that Lies Behind Roscoe' at the prestigious Roscoe Lecture series hosted by LJMU. This lecture promises to challenge and perhaps even discomfort the audience, in true Roscoe Lecture tradition, by encouraging informed debate, intellectual inquiry, and the freedom of speech. Focusing on the iconic William Roscoe, one of Liverpool's most renowned figures and the mastermind behind several esteemed institutions, Al Nasir, who has a personal connection to Roscoe, will unravel the intricacies of Roscoe's philanthropic and civic endeavors. This captivating exploration intends to challenge our preconceived notions about Roscoe, who was famously known as the city's most vocal critic of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Al Nasir's extraordinary personal journey is chronicled in his memoir, Letters to Gil, recounting his traumatic experiences within the UK's harsh care system. A fortuitous encounter with esteemed poet and civil rights activist, Gil Scott-Heron, transformed his life and propelled him towards academic success. Graduating from all three of Liverpool's universities, Al Nasir has become a prominent figure in the field of academia, advocating for positive action and decolonization. His groundbreaking research, which reveals forgotten aspects of Britain's involvement in the slave trade, has earned him recognition, including the prestigious Sydney Smith Memorial Prize and the Vice Chancellor's Award for global social impact. Don't miss the opportunity to attend this enlightening lecture and gain a deeper understanding of Roscoe's legacy. The event will take place at St George's Hall in Liverpool on November 24, 2023. Admission is free, so be sure to mark your calendars.

This is a pilgrimage, as a Liverpool fan. No matter how this journey is perceived by others, it is a perfect one in my heart. Especially when I passed through the player tunnel and saw the sign of Anfield, my heart was filled with emotion. When I stood on the stadium and closed my eyes, I could imagine the bustling crowds here on match days.

I am not a Beatles fan, but I am still touched by their legends after this tour. And found that some familiar songs were written by them. Appreciating the talents of lenon, I prefer the gentleness and restraint of McCartney. A good place to visit.

This church looks ordinary from the outside, but you will be amazed once you enter. It feels very beautiful as soon as you enter. It is super big inside. It is recommended to come here on Sundays. There will be a choir every Sunday. You can pray with the locals and feel the atmosphere.
