Part of a wider exhibition held in 2019 at Bruce Castle Museum, these exhibition panels tell the stories of the commitment and contribution to democracy, education, business, culture and general life of Haringey’s black community, often with greater significance beyond.
Inspired by stories from the Bruce Castle Museum and Archive collections, follow the timeline celebrating the presence, the significant contribution and the lasting impact by Haringey’s Windrush Generation and their descendants in our community, from 1945 to 2008.
You can also read an essay and poem - 'Windrush Generation Art and Celebration' - written in response to the exhibition by Alex Pascall OBE. Alex is a renowned broadcaster and campaigner who arrived from Grenada in the 1950s and has been living in Haringey ever since.
