We shall commemorate the life of Chartist, James ‘Bronterre’ O’Brien with a memorial address beside his grave in Abney Park Cemetery. O’Brien was a Chartist, and fought for a free, untaxed press, universal suffrage and parliamentary reform in the early part of the 19th century. The address will be given by this year by Professor Michael Turner, author of a definitive biography of O'Brien. Professor Turner has been published widely on 19th century reform movements including Chartism, and also on Britain's international role.
