Windrush

Yesterday I mentioned that my mom and dad were members of the Windrush generation. Sometimes I forget my age and totally forget that some of you (e.g. mi tree pickney dem) have no idea what the Windrush generation was all about. Also some of you (no names Mr Ali - bear) are too busy to take the time to Google it. ;)
Shout out with gratitude to Orlando Lopez (https://www.dhirubhai.net/in/orlandoclopez/) who has graciously provided a link to this incredible virtual presentation about the Windrush experience. If this does not whet your appetite then you need to check your pulse.

For those of you who are "woke" by this piece consider going further and watching the amazing (yes very old BriBri) BBC series Small Island (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00pdyg0).
And for those of you who simply can't get enough seek out Steve McQueen's brilliant anthology series Small Axe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_Axe_(anthology) The first episode called Mangrove is essential Black history and provides a powerful context for Windrush. My two cents not the truth.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Continue to enjoy Ramadan (insha'Allah)
Peace and WALK GOOD

1 年I read about the human labour capital of the European ???? ideologies of wealth acquisition. As a human rights advocate and of the enslavement atrocities, it's highly appalling to see the present issues. The priorities with compensation and immigration to the west. Meanwhile, the same ship loads of "Windrush" and those to Virginia; and airlifted without opportunities to a system and custom forgotten. ?? What a "quiet" travesty.
