<\/a>Last night, we attended a reception at the Houses of Parliament to honour the Windrush Generation and their descendants. The occasion marked\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>70th<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span>anniversary year since the arrival of the\u00a0<\/span>Windrush Empire at Tilbury Docks in Essex on 22 June 1948, bringing approximately 500 Jamaicans to live and work in the UK.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This event was hosted by the Streatham Ethnic Minorities Forum<\/a>\u00a0organised by the chair Maxine James.\u00a0 The MP for Lambeth, Chuka Umunna<\/a> gave a great keynote speech that you can view here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There was only standing room remaining once the event began and a tasty selection of Caribbean\u00a0refreshments were provided.<\/p>\n

Chuka was slightly delayed so after Maxine gave a short introduction to the evening, we were lucky to have\u00a0Marsha de Cordova,<\/a>\u00a0MP and former Lambeth Councillor, introduce herself and greet us all. Chuka arrived shortly after.<\/p>\n

After the keynote speech, we enjoyed a poem by Maya Angelou read by\u00a0Trevor Thomas<\/span><\/a>, a trio of songs sung by a wonderful singer Mrs\u00a0Philippa Bamgboye accompanied by Christopher Rose on the keyboard,<\/span>\u00a0and an original poem written and read by\u00a0Harry James<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Thank you for a wonderful event Streatham EMF.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
