People and History [1] Places and people of history that are 'local' to us makes us proud (tangeble connection to past and present roots) [2] Historical tree or timeline of people + events is visually interesting... [3] Named and unnamed people are both needed as as parts of all progress (a lot is unseen, sometimes not respected)
3 points just came to me (shortened in CW title of this post)
+ And also maybe it's not obvious to everyone but Pankhurst is named after Emmeline Pankhurst.
More below on the 3 points...
1/ Places and people of history *local* to us makes proud or have tangible connection past and present roots...
I think the places of history *local* to people makes a real difference to connection past and present...
I personally felt something right now seeing that picture and roots which is a bit strange if I'm honest covering many of these types of things - strange because I never really felt that before (or don't remember when last- most places can feel like any other man-made concrete template, but they were often not in a another time, which is really nice to feel, and be proud of people like this and a sense of continuation...
2/ Seeing the historical tree or timeline of people is interesting for us today...
So as a historical "tree" you could see grows as:
Emmeline Pankhurst.
> Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in Manchester, UK.
> suffragettes / awareness
> women eventually having votes.
3/ Named and unnamed people were part of this progress and both are needed and part of it all to happen...
Important to note there are are many unnamed here (perhaps like people in Fediverse) that are not listed but part of it... but for those that want and can putting your name on the line is 100% also needed...

The Pankhurst Centre, next to the outpatients' dept at MCR Royal Infirmary is worth a visit.
