From the Black Country to Brazil: a 19th century story of hate, hope and upheaval. A talk by Keith Robinson
Bilston Town Hall 28th May 2025 – 7.30pm (£3 for members and £5 non-members)
The talk tells the astonishing story of the migration of 300+ men, women and children from Wednesbury in 1868. Seeking a new life in South America, they crossed the Atlantic and made their way to a newly formed colony in the heart of the Brazilian jungle.
Keith will cover the reasons why they made such a move, how they fared, and delve into the lives of some of those who undertook the journey.
