The event celebrated the 'legacy of the solidarity shown on May 13th 2021; when the community of Pollokshields and beyond, came together to respond to the cruel treatment of refugees and asylum seekers and stood in defiance against the Home Office'. Maxwell Square (behind the trees) was full of people, with musicians, games and food and drink. It was a real community celebration.
