Honouring the Windrush generation
As well as paying tribute to those who arrived in Britain from the Caribbean, African and Asian regions to work and to build a better future for themselves, we must recall the ongoing injustices they and their families still face, says ZITA HOLBOURNE
I AM the daughter of the Windrush generation. My mother arrived in Britain from the Caribbean in the early 1960s.
Like many others of the Windrush generation arriving in the ’50s and ’60s from the Caribbean, African and Asian regions, they came to work, to build a better future for themselves and loved ones.
Instead of being greeted by welcomes and opportunities, they were greeted by signs of “No blacks, No Irish, No dogs,” by colour bars in housing and in the labour market and more — by fascist attacks and police brutality.
