The migrants arrived following an invitation from the British government to men and women from different Caribbean islands to come to the UK to help rebuild Britain after WW2.

They have now opened the door for young people today to have a voice.’Tony says the exhibition is a way to continue the legacy of Black British elders, and to celebrate the Caribbean lifestyle of the 50s and 60s.

This was a great triumph against the hostility they received.‘This event should not be called an exhibition it should be called “the invited people who gave so much but received very little”.
