Once our #EulogyProject exhibition @leedslibraries was came down, and 18,000+ visitors gone we knew more than ever why it meant so much to so many and why we must continue our work (unapologetically long thread) #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

It was so that Crosby Caine could stand in quiet reflection between the portraits of the men he was raised with as boys in 1930s #Jamaica #EulogyProject

It was so that Lionel Roper could recall his 21st birthday in 1944 spent crossing the Atlantic to join the RAF during WW2 #EulogyProject #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

It was so that we could tell human stories for all humans, not just for those from #Leeds, not only for those with Jamaican roots, but for everyone form everywhere.

It was so that Deborah could stand side by side with her Dad again, his nickname written on her shirt in tribute #EulogyProject #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

It was so that Jackie Terry could sit next to the 1963 photo she took on a night out with workmates from the #Leeds laundry where they worked together and who would become lifelong friends #EulogyProject #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

It was so that Keith Armstrong could reminisce on working with his friend Girvan 'Gibbs' Fishley at Copperworks #Leeds and share those memories with Gibbs' grandson. #EulogyProject #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

It is so that Jordan and every descendant of the pioneering generation of Jamaicans and other West Indians understands upon whose shoulders they stand and just how much #Leeds and the UK is indebted to them. Our work is not done. #EulogyProject #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Ugh what's "was came down" ? ignore the 'was' please
