Guardian Live

In partnership with the University of Manchester and The Guardian, we hosted a series of discussions to mark the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo massacre.

When in 1819 tens of thousands of people gathered to peacefully protest for parliamentary reform, the response from the wealthy yeomanry was violent: 18 people were killed and over 600 injured. The national media worked in the pockets of the government and led to the founding of the Manchester Guardian to report the truth.
