Highlights of the past month for me in Ealing have been:

Today we celebrated the 75th Anniversary of Windrush. We honoured our fore-bearers on the Empire Windrush, a remarkable event organised by CAHN. We must never forget their contribution and never cease in our fight for justice and equality. #Windrush75 Caribbean & African Health Network GMB Union North West & Irish

As we stand on the cusp of 2024, I look back on a memorable year filled with highs (Windrush75!) and lows (global conflicts๐ญ๐).
I thank all those whoโve promoted Little River in the UK & JA. Wishing you peace & good health in the New Year!

Great to be celebrating generation Windrush in Camden. Fantastic food, music and stalls & a chance to reflect on how despite the prejudice and discrimination faced the contribution of that generation has enriched our community and lives #Windrush75

It was a great opportunity to meet the respected community legend Margaret Noel to listen to how the Council can do more to support #Windrush Descendants.
There is a lot we can do to keep the legacy alive and make sure they get the justice they deserve.

More sad news as we learn of the passing of WW11 RAF veteran #NeilFlaniganMBE , weeks short of his 100th birthday. I was honoured to take this photograph of him at Buckingham Palace's unveiling of portraits of members of the Windrush generation, to mark #Windrush75 , last June. ๐
Here, Michael Hamilton, Director at The Ubele Initiative, reflects on some of the few Black role models that there were in the UK media during his childhood.โ
