Correction On page 11 last week, in the story of the event at Bridewell in Bristol, the last line of a quote was omitted. The full quote is: ‘Their courage is emboldening and has many resonances. Whatever injustices or inequalities we perceive in the world today here is encouragement. In honouring them we are repaid plentifully. Be brave, be compassionate, speak my truth, listen, build friendship and love they are saying.’ (The italics are the missing line.)
