I cannot believe some of the comments on here “ I don’t know about The Windrush Ship” ?
Which ,is incredibly hard to believe for a start , do you live in a cave ? but just goes to show exactly the reasons behind the telling of “ Why , this story needs to be told and retold”
Anyone of the baby boomer generation will remember the notices on doors “ No Blacks,No Irish, No Dogs” .
Why shouldn’t it be told in this way on TV ?
Why ,wouldn’t there be a mixed race person ?
To me all of these comments are ludicrous.
We have lived through segregation in SA
In our life time African Americans were treated appalling .slavery was still a thing .
So again ,I say “ why shouldn’t it be told”
It is also one of those stories that should be told in schools .
I personally draw the line at the pulling down of statues etc ,it is history and you cannot change history ,but you can change peoples perceptions.
