"I want to thank the British descendants of the Windrush generation for the work, the effort, the resilience, the strength that they have shown. They could have gone under decades ago but they have risen to the point where they have created this perfect storm for me. ... The National Windrush Monument is my thank you to them all."

The Windrush generation: scandal is a reminder of how little we know about British history
I wrote this piece for @NationalWorld about the #Windrush scandal, as this week marks 75 since the arrival of the ship.
This applies across the board when it comes to being aware of our past. The scandal unveils the painful consequences of ignorance in UK #history
