BLM UK-‘We were taken advantage of. That is what hurt’

UK Black History Month

From the BBC

When Neville Howard arrived in the UK as part of the Windrush generation in 1947 it was a different world.

The 92-year-old – well-known around Cardiff for his singing – remembered reading “no blacks, no Irish” signs and how he “just had to learn to live with” racism.

Mr Howard said: “All of us over here with colour were taken advantage of.

“And that is the thing that has hurt me.”
