The monument symbolises the courage, commitment and resilience of the thousands of men, women and children who travelled to the UK from 1948 to 1971 to help rebuild post-war Britain, and celebrates the outstanding contribution of the Windrush Generation to British history.
#Windrush is not just a story, it's my life, says @SiobhanAarons - without my grandparents taking that journey I wouldn't exist. "It's not just a marker of what happened 74 yrs ago, it's also about us today."
I am proud to be a signatory to this letter. To represent the hopes, dreams & wishes of my grandparents. To give them their recognition as we also look forward, to a new phase of being British
Our strength is in our diversity
Happy #WindrushDay and here’s to #Windrush75 in 2023
Today Croydon came together to celebrate Windrush Day. As a Windrush descendant, today is a proud day for me as we reflect of the contributions of the Windrush generation not just here in Croydon but throughout the United Kingdom. #WindrushDay2022
It's a privilege to be part of @BlackEquityOrg an exciting movement dedicated to levelling the playing field & focusing efforts on addressing key areas where black people face greatest levels of inequity, creating opportunities for communities to flourish
