Continuing our community work focus, we’re looking at individuals who represent the light in the darkness.  #HMD2021 #YorkHMD

As part of our community work we are focusing on a few select individuals and how they represent the light in the darkness. #HMD2021 #YorkHMD

The 2021 theme encourages reflection on the depths humanity can sink to, but also the ways individuals and communities resisted that darkness to ‘be the light’ before, during and after genocide. #HMD #YorkHMD

Don't forget our Clifford's Tower Commemoration will take place on Monday 16 March at 6.30pm. This event is free to attend, you just need to gather at the base of Clifford's Tower and wrap up warm! #HMD
