After the Second World War, mass migration from the Caribbean helped build the multi-cultural Britain we know today. This publication has been produced to celebrate the presence of the Black community in Hammersmith and Fulham over the past 100 years and the 50th anniversary of the arrival of the Empire Windrush. It is supported and funded by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Its publication also commemorates the tenth anniversary of the Ethnic Communities Oral History Project’s (ECOHP) first African Caribbean publication, The Motherland Calls, in 1989. A Ship and a Prayer draws on interviews published by ECOHP during the past ten years. Among the interviewees featured in A Ship and a Prayer are Randolph Beresford, a former Mayor of Hammersmith and Fulham who was made an MBE; Esther Bruce, whose autobiography received the Raymond Williams Prize for Community Publishing; and Connie Mark, who was awarded the British Empire Medal. ||| Contents ||| Before World War Two: Black Edwardians in Hammersmith and FulhamThe War Years (1939 - 45) Empire Windrush After Windrush A Second Generation Perspective -- source link
