About this Event


The Whitewashing Windrush Exhibition by Everol Wilson covers the behind the scenes discussions relating to what led to the beginning of mass migration of West Indians to the UK after World War II or as Louise Bennett would later describe it “colonisation in reverse”.

The repeated narrative is "we were invited”.

77 years later, the invite still cannot be found!
