Rebel Haringey: Standing On The Shoulders of Giants

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants is a project by the Radical History Network of N.E. London to collate and promote the rebel history of Haringey. By producing timelines and highlighting some particularly significant campaigns - from the 1381 Peasants Revolt against the Poll Tax (and again 600 years later!), up to the many local grassroots campaigns over the last 50 years - the aim is to help show that all residents today can learn from and be inspired by past struggles and self-organised movements for positive change. Such local movements are the giants on whose shoulders we stand today as we continue to seek a better future for all.  


We already have compiled or gathered a wide range of leaflets, pamphlets and video-links on some of the key radical and grassroots campaigns and movements of recent decades, many of which are also flagged up on our website - https://radicalhistorynetwork.blogspot.com/
