Windrush Day is observed on 22 June every year. On this day we honour the contributions of African-Caribbean migrants who arrived after World War 2, starting with the HMT Empire Windrush ship in 1948.
In honour of this day, we will be screening the TV mini-series, 'Small Island' rated 15, at Muswell Hill Library on Monday 22 June, from 2.30pm-5.24pm. This show is adapted from the book with the same title, by award winning author Andrea Levy.
The story follows Hortense Roberts, a Jamaican Woman who moves to London after World War 2 and Queenie Bligh, a working -class girl from Yorkshire who marries Bernard Bligh to escape her family's pig farming business. The show explores themes of racism, homesickness, and the challenges faced by Jamaican immigrants in post-war Britain, as they navigate their new lives and complexities of integration. The narrative intertwines the lives of these characters, highlighting their aspirations and the impact World War 2 on their lives.
On 22 June 1948, the HMT Empire Windrush arrived in the UK, bringing Caribbean passengers who helped shape modern Britain. Join us at Hornsey Library as we celebrate this important moment in history and to mark the rich legacy of British African-Caribbean culture and community.
