"I am a part of the Windrush Generation, however my parents were not on the HMT Windrush that arrived in Tilbury, Essex on 22 June 1948.
My mother (& siblings) arrived in Southampton aboard the TN Ascania on 25 June 1958, they were four of the 567 passengers on board; that is when my personal Windrush generation history really started in the UK."

It's exactly 75 years since the Empire Windrush docked in the U.K., carrying the first 802 members of the Windrush generation — immigrants from the Caribbean who had been invited to fill the labour shortage left by WWII. Here's a look at the impact this had on British music and culture, as well as the horrific treatment members of the Windrush generation were subjected to from their arrival till today.

Waiting for the bus?
I see social-distancing already in place. 😉
Seriously though, #racism was widespread in the UK.
Those who were invited across to fill jobs vacated by those killed in WW2, were encouraged to come, but then treated as though they were from a different planet, and lowered the tone of the neighbourhood.

So happy Veronica Ryan has won the Turner prize for her wonderful sculpture in Hackney, commissioned to honour the Windrush Generation. Always good to see - and feel - Custard Apple, Breadfruit and Soursop. Clever, beautiful, evocative, thought provoking…
