HISTORY MONTH

A Month to Remember

KD;Ãqyyw

OFIO EC7 H7L;BB;H HISTORY MONTH

KD;Ãqyyw

Few people can doubt that something big has happened. June 2008 was the first national Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month England. OFIO in EC7 H7L;BB;H HISTORY MONTH Jake Bowers looks back on a month that began the long overdue KD;Ãqyyw process of educating Britain about its Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community. When historians look back at the way Britain relates to its Gypsy, Roma and Travelling communities, I believe 2008 will be seen as the year when the tide started turning. Like a high-tide mark, I believe June 1st 2008 marks the point when discrimination, persecution and hatred of our communities began to slowly retreat back to the swamp from where they came. Because never before have so many people united in a single, gentle attempt to celebrate who we are and where we came from. But like all tides, it turned slowly before gathering pace, and it still has a long way to flow. It started on June 2nd, as Lords and MPs together with the winners of

The first Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month in pictures How one Traveller used GRTHM to get involved in her new community and break some misconceptions An fantastic book offer from the Hertfordshire University Press A tribute to two campaigners who have sadly passed away

World reknowned performers including Sheila Stewart MBE joined in the celebrations alongside rising stars like country singer Brigid Corcoran

the National Poster competition with their families, the majority from the GRT communities, gathered in parliament to award those who had put pen to paper to design a poster for Gypsy Roma and Traveller History Month (GRTHM). And from there it rolled out across England as schools, museums, prisons, fairgrounds and town halls all began to honour our ancestors. It touched thousands. Those who were part of it will know how minds were opened. Those who weren’t will only have to wait until June 2009 to see it again. There is no doubt that from the Lords to the back lanes GRTHM has been welcomed as a significant first step in which England stopped tolerating the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community and started celebrating it. In a year in which Italy started fingerprinting all of its Gypsy inhabitants and Romany

camps were firebombed, GRTHM can only be a seen as a defence against a rising tide of anti-Gypsy racism across Europe. It attracted the attention of the United Nations which commented that “creative

The next Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month will be in June 2009. Because community members were never asked which month it should be in, this magazine also gives members of our communities the chance to decide which month Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month should be in from 2010 onwards.

Home is where the start is Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month was a chance for many communities to throw open their doors and start educating those around them. For Lisa Smith, it was an opportunity to speak to the community she has been forced to move into after her site was destroyed to make way for the 2012 Olympics. When I heard about Gypsy Roma Traveller History month I thought it would be good to invite the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schools to our site, so they can see how we live and learn about our way of life. We live on the council Travellersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; site in Newham, London and our community has had a very stressful time in the past few years, as our site was needed for the Olympics. They pulled down a playground to build us a new site but local people were unhappy with Lisa Smith (centre of back row) together with her family, teachers this. So were we, but even though and children who visited her site. we went to court about it, we lost. said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always wanted to see Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s When we were waiting to move, trailer and I wish I could live here.â&#x20AC;? the children were given cameras by Even the teachers were surprised. photographers â&#x20AC;&#x153;ON SITE ARTSâ&#x20AC;? and they took photos of what happened. They said they thought Travellers were dirty but it made them realise There was an exhibition and I how ignorant they were about us. thought it would be good to repeat it on our new site and invite our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classes. When they came they visited the pitches where their friends live. They couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how lovely it all is. One of the boys

A VERY SPECIAL OFFE

R

from the University of Hertfordshire Press With winter nights drawing in and Christmas around the corner, there’s no better time to read up on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller history or give others the chance to do so. So here’s an exclusive offer to provide cut-price books on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History until the end of June 2009. Most Gypsy history is never written down, it lives in the memories of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people until they go to the grave and take their stories with them. For centuries our culture and history were simply passed down by word of mouth. But increasingly Gypsy, Roma and Traveller writers are recording their history, some by dictating it to a friend or relative, others have learnt to read and write because of a burning desire to record their history. Much of their writing is self-published, but some publishers have woken up to the fact that there is an increasing market for writing for, by and about Gypsies, Roma and Travellers. If there’s one publisher that has blazed a trail in recording our experiences it is the University of Hertfordshiree Press. Their catalogue of books is so impressive that novelist Louise Doughty recently wrote in The Independent on Sunday: “You could do a lot worse than buying the entire back catalogue of the University of Hertfordshire Press, a tiny but valiant publishing house which is the main source of Romani Studies in this country”.

We thought that was such a good idea that Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month Magazine has teamed up with the University of Hertfordshire Press to provide cut-price books on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History until the end of June 2009. You can get 50% off the recommended price and free postage and packing until June 30th 2009 on the books opposite. Pay by cheque using the order form below or by credit card over the phone on 01707 284654 (all major cards except America Express). Remember to mention ‘GRTHM’ when ordering by phone.

Month Standing Their Ground History Winners In the last issue of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month magazine we looked at our contribution to sports and arts. In this one, we remember two individuals who stood their ground to provide a better future for us all.

Sylvia Dunn In September, Sylvia Dunn, founder of the National Association of Gypsy Women, passed away after a long battle with illness. This is how some of her many friends remember her. Kay Beard and Rachel Francis of the UK Association of Gypsy Women write: “She was the first woman who took up the banner for the Romany Gypsy women in the UK, a ‘Rebel with a Cause’ and what a trail she blazed for a half a century. Without a shadow of a doubt Sylvi was our ‘Emily Pankhurst’. She cleared and smoothed the way for us lesser mortals who could only hope to walk in her shadow. Furthermore, she not only fought for justice and equality for her own community, Sylvi was also very mindful and an ardent campaigner for the Irish Traveller Community.” Thomas Acton, Professor of Romani Studies, University of Greenwich writes:

“She was an inspirational figure who was radicalised by the struggle for her own ground, and formed the first Romani Women’s association in Britain.” Sylvia Dunn, Gypsy civil rights campaigner, Born 31st December 1931, died 21st September 2008. She is survived by her two children Donna and Tucker.

He mistrusted academics within the “Gypsy industry”, who he believed worked with Travellers only to further their own careers, and he was equally intolerant of corruption within Gypsy organisations. This attitude led to his involvement in a bitter libel suit with the National Gypsy Council, which he eventually won in 1997. Eli helped hundreds of Romani families fight the local planning regulations that stopped them

Eli Frankham, who died in 2000, was the founder and president of the National Romany Rights Association (NRRA) and a political leader of Britain’s 300,000-strong Romany community.

Eli was born in a horse-drawn Romany vardo at Chanctonbury Ring in Sussex. For much of his young life, he travelled in southern England, until his family bought land in the Hampshire village of Horndean, where he was sent to school. Unlike many of his generation, he learnt to read and write, although he also experienced the racism that he was to spend a lifetime fighting. “I was the only Gypsy in that school,” he recalled years later. “They’d call out ‘Gippo, Gippo’. I had a rough time, so I started to fight and play hookey.”

Congratulations to all the winners listed below. Prizes and certificates are on the way to you all!

• Hareesa , Cristiano and Devontie; all from the Hillcrest Primary School

Eli Frankham

A former professional boxer, and a wise countryman, musician and storyteller, he was known and respected by ordinary travellers across Britain and Europe.

The June edition of this magazine featured an Activity Competition with numerous categories, but all celebrating Gypsy, Roma and Traveller culture. It was was open to everyone wherever they lived and drew entries from all over the world. Samples of the entries can be seen on our website www.GRTHM.co.uk

from settling in caravans on their own land. As a result, thousands of Romani children have gained access to education, healthcare and sanitation. Working voluntarily, he won huge respect from his people, and spent thousands of pounds pursuing his goals. He never received any official recognition. Eli was both modern and traditional. He believed that education was crucial to Romani emancipation, but he also valued Romani tradition. He both kept and traded horses all his life, recorded old Romani stories and songs, and would not be seen in public without a diklo, or Romani scarf, around his neck. Unlike other, more commercially-minded Travellers, who have exploited the myth of the Gypsy King, Eli never claimed any title, but if any man could have filled that position it would have been him. He had the charisma and the intelligence; most of all, he had the love of his people. Eli Frankham, Romani poet and civil rights leader, born November 26th 1928; died December 3rd 2000. At the time of his death Eli was survived by his wife, Gert, and six children.

Lady of the Rings Lea Fossett has entertained people from Loch Ness to Shanghai in the circus. But she warns that new laws are making it difficult. She speaks to Damian Le Bas. We are travellers and we’re living in the caravans, but the huge difference from Gypsies and Irish Travellers is we are occupational travellers. We just travel when we work: if we’re not at work, we stay at home. The circus people are the smallest group I think. But as far as the children’s education goes, for us it’s the same level of importance as for everyone else. The circus parents are probably the most keen to educate their kids among travelling groups. When I started the main concern was to finish primary school, now it’s to finish secondary school. Another big difference is we travel all around the world, the circus people! You go wherever your contract is for. You can be commissioned to work all over the place. We go to America, across Europe, the Far East.

because I’m Hungarian, and they make friends with people who live in other countries. There are lots of positive things about it. They meet so many people. They start to work at a very early age: one of my children starred in the show finale at the age of one and a half. The children grow up with the work as part of the lifestyle. It is a hard life for them, but because it’s harder, they have no time to go silly. I don’t know many circus people who have gone off on drugs, or anything like that. They never have time to do things like that because they are always working and busy doing different things. There have been a lot of changes in recent years. Forty, Fifty years ago, it was mainly little family circuses. Now the circus is like an industry as well. And the changes in the law make our lives hell sometimes. You have to have a licence for everywhere you go and it’s huge amounts of money for the ground.

All three of my children speak fluent Russian, because they have worked with so many Russian artists. They speak a little Hungarian,

Whose month? Your month! The success of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month will be repeated in June 2009. But, argues Jake Bowers, it needs greater involvement from the communities it represents. Britain’s 300,000 Gypsies, Roma and Travellers own little territory, but have to endure a mountain of misunderstanding. So when a central government department decided to dedicate an entire month to educating everyone about our culture, it was embraced by most Gypsies, Roma and Travellers as a welcome breath of fresh air in the often poisonous debate as to where Gypsies, Roma and Travellers should live. But the truth is that GRTHM was not an idea or date that came from the community itself. It was started by those in Gypsy and Traveller education keen to fight the misunderstanding that blights the lives of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller youth. Those in Traveller Education Services give three reasons as to why June was chosen:

• So it could happen in school term time, when they have the ability to involve and educate as many pupils as possible • June is a month which already includes many traditional Gypsy and Traveller events such as Appleby Fair and the Epsom Derby • That traditional Gypsy and Traveller culture is often best enjoyed in the open air in the summer.

If you think about it, in this country there isn’t much family entertainment, where you know everyone can be safe. You can take your grandma to the circus and you can take a three-year-old child: it’s not like the towns HISTORY MONTH KD;Ãqyyw where there’s drunks about. It’s one of the only completely clean and safe entertainments there is for the whole family.

This June, Gypsies and Travellers came together in partnership with those working in education. But is June really the right month to hold it in? Some would prefer to see it in April, when Roma national day is held, others are quite happy for it to remain in June. Whatever your opinion, one thing is undisputed, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people have never been consulted on the date. In order to make Gypsy Roma and Traveller History Month a date everyone can unite around, the survey slip below needs you to fill it in and return it. The month with the greatest number of votes will be Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month from 2010 onwards.
