It’s really important to feel like you belong

somewhere, whether that’s in a class, a friendship group or in a sports team. It makes you feel

valued, protected, needed and safe.

When you don’t feel like you belong, it can make you feel

anxious, isolated or sad. Later in the lesson, you will find out about some British people who were made to feel like they

didn’t belong.

Have you ever felt

like you don’t

belong? What was it

like?

Who were the Windrush generation?

It is 70 years since the ship,

the Empire Windrush, sailed to Britain. On the

ship were hundreds of

people from the

Caribbean. These people are sometimes called the

Windrush Generation.

The children who came to

Britain as part of Windrush are

now much older! They faced

a big injustice this year and

were made to feel like they

didn’t belong in Britain.

Many of the Windrush

generation arrived in

Britain as children.

Lots of Caribbean people had

fought for Britain in World War II.

They started a new life

here with their families;

working, going to

school and raising their

children!

Their families came to help

re-build Britain after the war, because the British

government asked for help.

They were excited to see what Britain was like!

Injustice:A situation

where people

are treated

unfairly.



Earlier this year, some of

the Windrush generation

were asked to prove they

were British.

The government has apologised for what happened to the Windrush generation and has

promised that no one will have to leave Britain.

But sadly, the scandal has made people feel like they

don’t really belong in their own country.

Lots of people all around

the world were very angry

about what happened.

There were big protests.


What should we do about this year’s BHM?

In the news this week, there have been lots of stories about the significance of this year’s Black History Month, given everything that’s been going on with the Windrush

generation. People have different opinions about what should be done…

Undermined:Weakened or

destroyed.

BHM:Short for Black

History Month.

Group Discussion (6 mins)In small groups, read two opinions on

this year’s Black History Month

celebrations.

Decide if you agree or disagree with

what they are saying.

Then, say as a group whether you

think this year’s celebration is more

important that ever.

It’s the 70th

anniversary of Windrush. The

celebration should be big.


MP Dawn Butler thinks that this year’s celebration is more important than ever,

because Windrush showed just how important it is for people to understand the contribution of black people to our society.

Writer Sinai thinks it’s inappropriate to celebrate Black History Month this

year because black people from Windrush have been treated so

unfairly.

“How can we celebrate this year, when our elders

are being treated this way? It is a national

disgrace.”

It is inappropriate to

celebrate it right

now because of the

way the Windrush

generation have

been treated.

Our country needs

to celebrate Black

History Month more

than ever,

especially because

of Windrush.

What should we do about this year’s BHM?

• Black History Month is always important every year and this year is

no different.

• Some people might think it is inappropriate to celebrate Black

History Month when some black

people from the Windrush generation

have been treated so badly.
