This week we visited the Working Class Movement Library (WCML) in Salford, to find out about Manchester boxer a political activist, Len Johnson.
Jason Roche, an Historian at MMU, and ex-amateur boxer and boxing coach, also went along to find out more.
The group found a lot of interesting photographs of Johnson, and they also found out more about travelling boxing booths, which Len used to fight in, and which are an important part of boxing history.
We’ll be thinking about how to use some of this information in our films in future sessions.
