Windrush Service at All Saints, Luton contributes to Black History Month

All Saints Luton timed the holding of it third Windrush Service, normally held close to Windrush Day, 22nd June, to fall in Black History Month.

The story of the Windrush generation are relatively recent history, but can be an important contribution to Black History Month.

Making this connection, the church produced a series of panels showing achievements and experiences in the black community in each of the decades since the arrival of the Windrush generation.  The panels are being exhibited in the church during October at: ALL SAINTS CHURCH, SHAFTESBURY ROAD, LUTON LU4 8AH

The panels note landmarks such as the first black newsreader (Trevor McDonald) and cultural milestones such as the first UK Carnical procession.

The panels were assembled by members of the Caribbean community and others associated with All Saints Church.
