Windrush Day: Waterloo Station statue to be unveiled

A statue paying tribute to the Windrush generation is being unveiled in one of London's largest train stations.

It depicts a man, woman and child standing on top of suitcases and is being revealed at Waterloo Station on Wednesday to mark Windrush Day.They said it would "create a permanent place of reflection and inspiration and be a visible statement of our shared history and heritage".to create the monument. High-profile names, including actor Lenny Henry and poet Benjamin Zephaniah, have called for next year's Windrush Day to be a "major national moment" to mark the 75th anniversary.

Assuming it'll be on display for a short time before being sent to Rwanda...

Unsure about the muddy-looking statue, honestly.

If it is really British History, why are these particular history makers treated lower than citizens? Why their children born in this country is governed by a law from the days of slavery? Only when it suits is Black History, British History

What a joke statue yet no black history in school Miss petal will soon send us all back with this vote today to override human rights
