It's been seventy years since the tragic death of Alan Turing 😢

Stockport LGBT+ History Month Trail
Alan Turing (1912-1954)

An English mathematician and computer scientist who profoundly shaped the course of history through theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. He played a pivotal role in breaking the Enigma code and helping the Allies during World War II.

He faced unjust persecution due to his homosexuality. Subjected to degrading treatments, his life took a devastating turn. His death after eating a poisoned apple remains a poignant symbol of the personal and societal costs of prejudice.
