    National Windrush Day has passed. Where do we go from here?

    July 12, 2019 / No Comments

      Saturday 22 June saw the arrival of the UK’s first official Windrush Day, a day commemorating the arrival of British citizens from the Caribbean on the Empire Windrush in 1948, and celebrating the immense contribution the Windrush generation has made to British society and economy for the last 70+ years.  Windrush Day also brought with it the announcement of a memorial dedicated to the Windrush generation in Waterloo station, where many members of the Windrush generation first arrived in London.  The announcement was met with a mixed reception, with members of the community questioning the choice of location, criticizing the lack of consultation and, quite rightly, wondering where was…

About PHV

Hi and welcome to Purple Hued Views! This blog and online bookclub brings together a womanism-influenced view of life and a love of literature. I’m all about having genuine conversations about issues of race, gender (and so much more) and how people like me are affected by them in everyday life. I’m also a massive bibliophile and I love talking about books! So if that floats your boat then join me in looking at life through this lens.

Love, Sara B. xx
