THer week went to a receipt of Windrush Day in the Garden for 10 Ways. Standing on the good sunrise, with a steelband pointed in the background, it’s good to see this generation of Caribbean The migrants finally are honored as their courage and business fit.
The excited visitors – Windrush-era Caribbean migrants, their friends and family – glad to be less than 10, and the perfect factor was addressed by the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer. It’s fine on this occasion, he stopped talking to his guests that they became Britain on a “island of strangers”. In any case, it’s bad.
No one is introduced to be stronger in Britain than that generation, most of those have a picture of Queen Elizabeth II in their cluster alive. If the Windrush Windrush Arrive at Tilbury’s ports in Essex, Those who occupy them did not see themselves “immigrants”, but the citizens of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth came to help rebuild the “mother country” after the war. Most passengers give their last country of residence such as the Caribbean, including Jamaica, Trinidad, St Lucia, Grenada and Barbados. Some serve in British armed forces, but others respond to British government advertisements for workers.
While it is good to see the contribution of British migrants during postwar-celebrated, it is possible to relieve the weather in the windrush as they face on ships. They are so proud to come, but British receiving is cooler than they expect.
An issue is work. The Windrush Era runs from 1948 to the early 1970s, but the first relationship with the action of the action is not yet the windrush employers because they are black and don’t even pretend to have one more reason. Accordingly, most of the windrush migrants hit the postwar labor deficiencies such as a factory or factory factory.
Windrush-era women often go to NHS. It’s not easy way to make a living. The nurses, especially, always be on permanent evening or placed in grades where many acts of backbreaking but no promotion. However, they need to train young white nurses and they look to climb the ladder. Despite all that, they are proud of their jobs. Some people today want to talk about pressure immigrants placed in public services. But my mother’s generation helped build the NHS.
The other problem is home. Windrush-era migrants owned by their own houses on a scale as unique today. But it’s not because they get a lot of money. They have a small option. Before the 1965 relationship relationship with the race, many councils do not allow black people. The private sector is worse. A famous slum on the forehead of the ground during the weather is Peter Rachman, which will charge double or treble normal rent. He specializes in Caribbean tenants because they have some main landowners to rent them.
My father, like many Caribbean migrants in time, bought a house on what was a shocking part of West London. He assembled the deposit with an intra-community The plot storage is called “Pardner”. But he paid to credit through a tenant or family in each room. We are right in a room at home with a landing cooker. When my father’s home was buying, there was a family Irish, led by “Uncle Jimmy, as I was uncle Jimmy. When he was born to uncle Jimmy and he would give me a breakfast.
During the windrush period, black people often victims of violence of evil actors such as teddy boys or fascist organizations like BNP. There is a backdrop of fear. Hill Race River’s Nati River is the last of the years of teddy boys who attack black people. My mother used to tell a story about teddy boys who hurt our West London Road. They knocked on each door and if they found a black family inside, beat them. My parents are waiting for a slice as the noise of teddy boys. Then from our basement Uncle Jimmy appeared. He said strong “they didn’t get our Diane” and when Teddy Boys knocked on our door, he opened it. Seeing a white man, they reside a white family living inside and continues to the next house.
No one should hold the bravery of the windrush generation. Traveling from the Arrow of the Caribbean to a largest cities in the world to build a new life is an act of unusual dare. Nor my parents, and that whole wave of Caribbean migrants who came to the 1950s of the empire windrush and all the ships, celebrated a day celebrated in many beautiful events. Including an acceptance of the garden at 10 downing street.
