SUMMARY:WINDRUSH 75TH YEAR CELEBRATION
DESCRIPTION:Join Birmingham’s Blackstory Partnership and Birmingham Rep as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of Windrush Day at a special Windrush Day – 75th Anniversary event. \nThis uplifting event will acknowledge Birmingham’s Windrush Generation who contributed to the rebuilding of England\, paving the way for future generations. \nBBC West Midlands radio presenter\, Nikki Tapper and Mykal ‘Wassifa’ Brown MBE will host this prestigious one-off event. The program includes a performance by a newly formed children’s choir\, The Next Generation Choir Birmingham\, a variety of guest speakers\, presentations\, including the unveiling of the Windrush Memorial Statue at Waterloo Station in 2022 plus the Windrush Pioneer Award Ceremony. The evening will culminate with a jamboree of music from the 50’s to modern day from Wassifa Sound System. \nJamaica was under British rule when World War II devastated the United Kingdom. England called out to the people of the West Indies to help rebuild the ‘Mother’ country and we responded. On the 21st June 1948 The SS Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury Docks\, on 22nd June the passengers (many from Jamaica) disembarked the ship. The arrival of the SS Empire Windrush marked the beginning of a mass migration from the West Indies to England known as the Windrush Generation. So profound was the contribution of the Windrush Generation that in 2018\, the government announced the 22 June as National Windrush Day of observance. \nTake your seat and join us as we celebrate the achievements and contribution of the Windrush Generation at Windrush Day – 75th Anniversary.
