www.norfolkblackhistorymonth.org A Message from the Chair

Activities & Art & The word “Windrush” is foremost in any review of BHM LAUNCH Workshops Literature Black History Month 2018. The unfair way that our 2 - 3 4 - 7 8 - 11 generation was treated can never be fully rectified. June 22nd 2019 marked the first National Windrush Day, and Lady Floella Benjamin has been tasked with creating a fitting monument to that symbolic event of 1948. British life and culture has been immeasurably enriched by Caribbean immigration. Just imagine Britain without Rhythm and Blues, Reggae, Ska, Calypso, Salsa, Zumba or Music & Talks & Film Theatre Exhibitions Modern Jazz. We would have to bring back “knees up mother Brown”. 13 - 15 16 - 23 24 - 29 “Young, Gifted and Black” is the theme for BHM 2019. As part of that we celebrate the second generation. The children of the Windrush literally carry the flag for Britain. There are too many of them to name, Dame Kelly Holmes, Johnson Beharry VC and Lenny Henry are just three of the innumerable horde of high achievers who have put UEA the “Great” into modern Britain. 30 - 33 I hope you had a good Windrush Day. Now have a great Black History Month this October!
