Migration and Resistance

1. Migration to Britain from African and Caribbean countries was largely driven by the desire to escape poverty and oppression. 2. Many of the early migrants faced prejudice and hostility upon their arrival. 3. Despite this, African and Caribbean people resisted through their culture, art, and music. 4. The Windrush Generation made a significant contribution to British society, despite the challenges they faced. 5. Caribbean migration increased during the 1950s and 1960s, which saw the formation of vibrant and diverse communities in Britain. 6. The anti-racism movement in Britain was galvanised by the arrival of the Windrush Generation and the subsequent wave of migrants. 7. African and Caribbean people have continued to resist oppressive systems in Britain and celebrate their culture and heritage.
