Celebrating Emma Clarke, Black Female Football Pioneer | Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff | RSA Replay

Incredibly, the story of Victorian black female footballer, Emma Clarke, only came to light in 2017. Why are black female narratives routinely missing from mainstream history? And in unearthing Emma’s story now, what can we learn about black excellence in 21st century Britain? To celebrate Black History Month 2018, we gather a stellar panel of black cultural commentators, representing academia, football and the media, to explore what hidden histories such as Emma’s can teach us about a multiracial society in Britain. This unique event, co-curated by sports diversity consultant and activist Michelle Moore and sports writer and campaigner Anna Kessel MBE, is funded by The FARE Network Football and is part of the #FootballPeople action weeks - a global campaign to tackle discrimination and celebrate diversity in football. Speakers to include: Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff, writer and deputy editor, gal-dem; Emma Dabiri, author; broadcaster Eartha Pond, social justice campaigner and former Tottenham Hotspur LFC footballer. With a performance from “Offside” by actress Tanya Loretta Dee. ‘Offside’ was co-written by poets Sabrina Mahfouz and Hollie McNish having been commissioned by Futures Theatre’s Artistic Director, Caroline Bryant, to create a piece around women’s football. From that point on, this powerhouse team worked closely together on the research and development of the piece and, in 2017 Futures Theatre produced the first UK tour of the production. Since then it has had a run at the Edinburgh Festival and a second national tour. SUBSCRIBE to our channel!
