Changing Britannia through the Arts and Activism A Public Lecture at the British Library to Mark 50 Years of New Beacon Books by Professor Gus John. Friends and Comrades! It is a privilege and an honour to deliver this lecture to mark 50 Years of New Beacon Books. I aim to do two things: to reflect upon the many political and cultural institutions and movements that inspired its formation, as well as the political and cultural movements that it spawned and to share some thoughts as to why New Beacon is arguably even more relevant and necessary now as we approach the third decade of the millennium than it has been in the last five decades.
