Episode #11: William Cuffay: The Forgotten Black Chartist
Featuring: Toni Davis (Host & Storyteller).
Summary
In today’s episode of The Forgotten Black Chartist, we shine a light on William Cuffay—a man who stood small in height but towered as a revolutionary force. Born to an enslaved Black father and white English mother, Cuffay defied the barriers of race, class, and physical disability to become a leader of the 19th-century Chartist movement. Fighting for universal suffrage and workers’ rights, he organized strikes, gave fiery speeches, and stood firm even as the government tried to silence him.
But Cuffay’s rebellion didn’t end with his exile to Tasmania—he continued to push for justice from across the globe. So why does history barely remember him? Join us as we uncover the untold story of William Cuffay, the forgotten Black Chartist who helped pave the way for modern democracy. This is history with heart, courage, and a touch of rebellion—don’t miss it!
