Episode Two - The Struggle for Acceptance

In this episode of 'Echoes of the Caribbean' we examine the prejudice that Bradford’s early West Indian migrants faced as they built a life here. Many people who had travelled from the Caribbean had a strong sense of their Britishness, plenty had served in the British armed forces during the war and they had an expectation that they would be welcomed in the 'mother country'.  However, this was not always the case, many of the indigenous population were not used to seeing black people and saw the migrants as a threat. Facing racism and prejudice on a daily basis made life hard for many in Bradford’s West Indian community.  But on occasions it could be even worse when hate turned to violence. In 1986 volunteers at Checkpoint West Indian Community Centre in Bradford recorded the memories of early settlers, talking about their experiences over the previous three decades settling into a new way of life in Yorkshire. We have now been given access to this treasure trove of first hand testimony that we can share with you.

Episode One - New Beginnings in Bradford

Welcome to "Echoes of the Caribbean," the podcast that delves into the vibrant and poignant stories of West Indian migrants who embarked on a transformative journey to start a new life in Bradford, during the 1950s and 1960s.  In this series, we will take you on a captivating journey through time, tracing the footsteps of those who left their home in search of a better life, in the mother country and forged a new community in industrial Yorkshire. We are students at Oastlers School in Bradford.  As part of Black History Month we have teamed up with Checkpoint, Bradford’s West Indian Community Group and the charity Digital Advantage to share with you some of Bradford’s Black History. In 1986 volunteers at Checkpoint recorded the memories of elder members of the community talking about their experiences over the previous three decades settling into a new way of life in Yorkshire. In this first of three episodes we look at the first impressions of the Windrush Generation as they began a new life in Bradford.
