Reasons to Migrate
The people who arrived on the Windrush were invited to
come to Britain. Sam B King, one of these first pioneers
commented,
It was thought that the early immigrants, given their
background, ‘didn’t have a chance’ in this civilised
industrialised society, but our attitudes and beliefs…
were the techniques of survival from the day we stepped
off the Windrush…”
