Publishing during Black History Month, we invite you to join Janet Alder for an inspiring talk and enlightening discussion about her powerful book, ‘Defiance – Racial Injustice, Police Brutality: A Sister’s Fight for the Truth.’
The police killing of Christopher Alder in Hull in 1998 was one of the most notorious deaths in custody in the UK, involving the destruction of evidence, a whitewash of an investigation and illegal surveillance.
This event is a must for those passionate about human rights, social justice and equality.
Janet Alder has relentlessly fought for justice, and against police brutality since the death of her brother. During this intimate talk, she will share details of her personal journey, discuss the themes of her book and answer audience questions.
In the book, Janet fearlessly holds the UK’s state institutions to account. Her probing expose details what went on, based on exhaustive documentary evidence, as well as telling the story of her fight to uncover the truth. It’s a damning account of injustice in the UK police system; a story – among many others – of justice denied.
Janet’s book ‘Defiance’ will be available to buy and Janet will be doing a signing at the end of the evening.
