#WindrushDay



Hello dear readers,

today is Windrush Day in the UK, a new date, 22 June, which celebrates the contribution of migrants from the Caribbean in the UK and its culture.

I'm currently reporting on the Windrush generation and Caribbean migrants in the UK in general, but especially in the context of the hostile environment created by Theresa May's immigration policy a few years ago.

Today I went to Lambeth for the Walk and Talk tour lead by the Jamaican "Walking Jukebox" Barrington, and to the Migration Museum Project, for a day of celebration.

Here are a few photos. More words to come...

Many thanks
