Windrush voices
-
Read and listen to poetry, prose and quotes from the Windrush generation.
Join a host and delve into some first-hand testimony of the Windrush generation's experiences.
After the Second World War, thousands of men and women travelled from the Caribbean in answer to Britain's call for help to fill labour shortages and rebuild the economy.
