o celebrate Black History Month, come and explore Kennington Park’s history of radical politics and Rastafarian roots.We will encounter both the legendary Bob Marley and William Cuffay, London’s first mixed race politician of note, and outspoken leader of the Chartist working class movement. Relive this history of resistance, and ask, in the lyrics of Bob Marley & The Wailers’ ‘What do you got for me, Concrete Jungle?’

This walk is part of the CoolWalks Autumn Urban Forest Festival (26-28 October 2017). For more information see the website: www.cooltanarts.org.uk/guided-walks
