Today marks the reveal of the memorial statue of Mary Seacole in the garden of St Thomas’ Hospital, London, directly opposite the Houses of Parliament. Although lesser known than Florence Nightingale, Mary was a pioneer in nursing techniques and administered her own treatments to soldiers during the Crimean War. As a Jamaican national, she faced a degree of racial prejudice and was sadly forgotten for almost a century.
Today marks a pivotal moment in the history of Britain and its relationship with Europe. Today sees the public of Britain able to vote to either leave or remain in the EU. Being British ourselves, it is an issue close to the History Learning Site's heart and one that seems a complicated choice for most voters.
