About This Event

From Wigan to Atlanta takes place on 7 October 2026 at Haydock Library in St Helens. David Yeates will share his life story and reflections on his history and identity as part of a talk. Refreshments will be served at this free event.

Join us for a fascinating talk from David Yeates as he shares his life story and reflections on his history and identity.

David Yeates grew up in 1970s Ashton-in-Makerfield knowing he was different, but not knowing why. In early adulthood he discovered he was the son of Steve Belcher, a black GI based at Burtonwood Air Base. In 2002, David travelled to Atlanta to meet his father for the first time, took a DNA test, and was welcomed into his extended African American family.

Join us for a fascinating talk as David shares his life story and reflections on his history and identity which form the basis of his upcoming memoir
