"It Wasn't Travelling To A Foreign Country" - 75 Years Since Windrush

22 June 2023 marks 75 years since the HMT Windrush docked in Tilbury — bringing a generation of Caribbean people to Britain, and making the country a richer, more diverse and exciting place ever since.

In this video, we visit Brixton's Black Cultural Archives, delving into the fascinating objects in their collections.

We also chatted to Hugh Keizs — who came to London from Jamaica in 1959 — discussing his early memories of a new life in the UK.
