Hilary & Martin Burrage 'were guests at a ceremony in Liverpool Town Hall to mark the important legacy of John Archer'


[John Richard Archer (1863-1932)]


On October 21, 2010 AfriClassical posted: “John R. Archer (1863-1932), Pan-Africanist Colleague of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.” A comment has been made by Hilary Burrage, who recently informed us of the Samuel Coleridge Taylor Foundation:

“Following the 1998 Windrush events with which we were involved, my husband (Martin Anthony Burrage) and I were guests at a ceremony in Liverpool Town Hall to mark the important legacy of John Archer to our city and nation.

“Amongst the items on display was a needlework banner about John Archer which included, as I recall (will check again when I can) a quotation from Samuel Coleridge Taylor's 'Hiawatha' score.”
