Description

<p>The West Indies is looking to the UK government for reparations, so this week, Clive Lewis and Laura Trevelyan are heading back to London, to understand the link between the Caribbean and Britain. It’s time to revisit the history of the Windrush generation - the men and women who travelled to Britain for work and to help rebuild after World War Two. Clive talks to his dad about his experience, and Professor Olivette Otele explains how the treatment of the Windrush generation adds to the call for reparations.&nbsp;</p><br><p>With that in mind, Laura and Clive are keen to know what the reparatory justice movement looks like in London. Clive’s Labour colleague Bell Ribeiro-Addy, who chairs the All Party Parliamentary Group for Afrikan Reparations, shares her insights.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Producer: Rosie Stopher</p><p>Production support: Edwin Frank</p><p>Production Manager: Flick Heath</p><p>Original music: Andre Greenidge</p><p>Score and artwork: Sena Verdi</p><p>Sound design: Airaphon</p><p>This is a Persephonica Production.</p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
