Fine tribute to the late Trevor Burnard of Wilberforce Institute. ‘Working in a field that fuels many contemporary ideological battles, he refused to be pigeon-holed…Learning to look reality in the eye was, to his mind, what education was all about’. theguardian.com/books/2024/aug…

1/ Trevor was 1 of our oldest friends. He had "a remarkable talent for friendship" as this lovely obit says. I told him this spring that cheerful outreach shaped our lives - he showed my spouse around as a prospective student of Jack Greene at JHU in 1985 theguardian.com/books/2024/aug…
3/. Trevor so enjoyed what turned out to be a great last leg of his itinerant career at the Wilberforce Institute & did a lot of good there in terms of his field, bringing his trademark energy, good humor & expertise to every aspect. Farewell, dear friend. #atlantichistory #slavery
