Enwogion o fri: Diversity Project 2023-2025

Our free #DiversityProject anthology for the #Bywgraffiadur has just dropped on KC Works. Over 40 authors contributed more than 60 articles about the most fascinating people in #Welsh #history you could possibly imagine.

We've covered #BAMEHistory #LGBTQ_ and #DisabilityHistory, #WomensHistory, #ArtHistory, the #HistoryOfScience, #HistoryOfReligion and #Wales

Frankly, there's not a single article in this collection that's not bound to be of interest to someone.

Get your own copy here as PDF or epub. And because we're in Wales, we even offer you two versions.

Retro 60s style illustration of a green school bus. Hands throwing revolution fist gestures and a crutch burst out of the windows. The bus is pained with peace signs and the slogan "Nothing About Us Without Us." It's a joyful, dynamic picture. Additional text says: "International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Teach with Film. Journeys in Film."

“I never had a night's sleep yet; I should have good rest, and a night's sleep I did not have.”

She fell down a poorly maintained flight of stairs in a Manhattan building in 1916 and sued the owner, this was in the trial in 1922. Not only was she permanently #disabled from this, with not much of a safety net in that time, but the rich owner denied he even owned the building, which was officially owned by a numbered company. He eventually lost the case.
