As the nation commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Second World War, renowned journalist, author and broadcaster Gary Younge returns to WoWFEST to highlight how black people, despite the huge role that they played in WW11, have been written out of the story. The 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Paris offers an opportunity to explore the discrepancy between race-based mythologies around the Second World War and Black involvement in the war and what that tells us about Europe as a whole and how Black people’s presence here is misunderstood. Gary  asks  how  conversations about responsibility, patriotism, immigration, integration, equality, and justice would be understood if the contribution of black people was written back in rather than written out, and their role fully acknowledged?
Gary Younge
 is an award-winning author, broadcaster and a professor of sociology at the University of Manchester. Formerly a columnist at The Guardian, he has written six books, most recently Dispatches From the Diaspora. Winner of the 2023 Orwell Prize for Journalism and the 2025 Robert. B.

This is a pilgrimage, as a Liverpool fan. This journey is in my heart, no matter what in the hearts of others, it is full score 💯. Especially when there are players passages, and when you see this is the Anfield brand, your heart is tidal. Standing on the pitch, closing my eyes, I can think of the crowd here on match day.

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.

Liverpool Cathedral

Yushanshan

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.
