About the Talk<\/h3>\n

William Cuffay, son of a former slave, was born on St Kitts in the Caribbean. He settled in Chatham where he became a journeyman tailor. But when the new tailors’ union went on strike in 1834, he lost his job. A leading figure in the Chartist movement (Britain\u2019s first popular mass political movement) he was transported to Australia for allegedly planning an uprising against the British government.<\/p>\n
