'Aunt Mabel' - A Windrush Poem by Anthea Davis Barclay

This week marked the unveiling of a Windrush monument at Waterloo Station in remembrance of the Windrush generation and their contributions to the development of the United Kingdom.

"The monument, at Waterloo Station pays tribute to the thousands of people who arrived in the UK from Caribbean countries between 1948 and 1971." Click here to read the full article.
