On behalf of The African Caribbean & Friends Community Assocication (formerly WIOCC) and The West Indian Sports & Social Club you are invited to join us as we take a walk through history in tribute to the Windrush Generation.
The arrival of the first mass movement of West Indian men from the Caribbean following the Second World War to assist the rebuilding effort of Britain was a significant moment in British History.
