Simon Stephens travels to Glasgow to meet Nelson Cummins, the curator (legacies of slavery and empire) at Glasgow Museums. Nelson, who used to work at the Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights, discusses the impact of empire on society today and why it is important to address its legacies.
He leads an ongoing programme at Glasgow Museums to explore how the profits of empire and slavery played a crucial role in the city's economic and social development and how this continues to shape present-day Glasgow.
