My Grandparents, My Parents, And I

My Grandparents, My Parents and I is a podcast series which highlights the experiences of the Windrush Generation, who travelled to Britain between 1948 and 1971. We explore their challenges and successes, and their influence on British society to mark the arrival of the HMT Empire Windrush on its 75th anniversary. We also focus on their relationship with our city of Birmingham.
