Her involvement in the Ethiopian cause of 1936 and subsequent life in Africa
A fierce socialist and internationalist, Sylvia Pankhurst became involved in the Ethiopian cause in 1936, after the Italian invasion. Twenty years later, at the invitation of the Emperor Haile Selassie, she moved to Ethiopia with her son Richard and his wife Rita. And it’s there – in Addis Addiba – that she’s buried. Thembi Mutch meets her family who still live there to find out more about her life in Africa. | |
