‘Why David Oluwale Matters: “Race”, Mental Health and Homelessness today.’ A educational panel with three Leeds experts of African heritage showing the intersection of the pressing social issues of ‘race’, mental health and homelessness.
With creative responses to these issues from Leeds poets.
The panel members are:

- Dr Hector-Goma (Leeds GP).
