- Commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo massacre

- Description
- Today we remember the 60,000 people who gathered in Manchester on 16 August 1819 to demand the vote and representation in Parliament. Hundreds of these peaceful protesters were injured and 18 were killed but our democracy is their legacy.
The massacre became known as Peterloo, a major event in Manchester’s history and a defining moment for Britain’s democracy. It was a catalyst for subsequent generations campaigning for change, inspiring the Chartist movement and the Great Reform Act of 1832.
In 1819 Manchester did not have its own Member of Parliament but now in 2019 Greater Manchester is represented by 27 MPs. One of them is Lucy Powell, MP for Manchester Central, she tells us why it is so important to remember the Peterloo massacre and what it means to her.
