Event Overview
Windrush 75
Dates: Sat 24 June, 10am – 5pm
On Sat 24 June, we will remember the Windrush generation. The day will offer immersive stories through collections, re-enactments and conversations with people from the Windrush generation.
We have invited local community groups and individuals to deepen the conversation about post-war migration from across the Commonwealth and beyond. Whilst showcasing traditional activities throughout the Museum, they hope to engage with staff and visitors about their experiences of moving and settling in the Black Country.
