The Victoria Gallery & Museum, Museum of Liverpool and International Slavery Museum are celebrating the life of Edward Rushton (1756 – 1814) fighting for human rights and social justice which has remained largely unknown for 200 hundred years. Rebellious Politics at Victoria Gallery and Museum: this exhibition rediscovers Edward Rushton’s human rights campaigning through the written word. Rushton’s bookshop in Paradise Street became a centre for Liverpool’s “Friends of Freedom” and national agitation for social justice, fighting government oppression. In his poetry Rushton consistently gave voice to the oppressed, whether enslaved people on plantations, sailors kidnapped by the press gang or Irish rebels.
