We wish you all a warm welcome to this - the inaugural episode of the 'Stories to be tolled' podcast! Tracy DW delves into the historical significance of the H.M. Windrush, a ship that symbolises both national pride and controversy within Caribbean communities in Britain. Tracy provides a comprehensive overview of the ship's journey from Jamaica to Tilbury Docks in 1948 and explores the broader implications of this migration in the context of Britain's colonial past and its evolving identity.
As well as the complexities of the Windrush narrative, (from a celebration of multiculturalism to the Windrush Scandal) Tracy also makes linking it to key historical events and figures that shaped Britain's socio-political landscape.
