On the anniversary of the arrival of the Empire Windrush, Sophie and Ellie tell the story of the ship that transformed Britain and what happened next. They learn about the Windrush’s journey from the Jamaica to Britain and the West Indians who came looking for jobs in a Britain rebuilding after the War. We listen to a newsreel of how the Windrush immigrants were perceived as they first arrived. We learn how they struggled with their first few weeks in the underground station at Clapham. Then see how they found jobs and settled in places like Brixton and Notting Hill. We see how the NHS, London Transport and other actively recruited people from the West Indies. But we also learn about the racism that the West Indians experienced. And the girls talk about their own mixed race background to put it in context. They learn about how their Great Grandfather came to Britain as a West Indian immigrant in the 1940s. The whole immigration discussion is placed in the context of this historic immigration from ancient times. We use an original song to illustrate this. And we end by celebrating how our diversity is the strength of Britain.What is immigrationImmigration through the agesThe post war labour shortage in BritainThe Windrush sets sailNews coverage of the arrival of the WindrushHow the Windrush passengers stayed underground at first in ClaphamWhy so many of the Windrush generation settled in Brixton and Notting HillThe efforts made to encourage more West Indians to come to BritainThe racism experienced by West Indians, including by some police.An extensive discussion between the girls of what racism means to themThe culture that the West Indians brought with them that became part of British culture.If you like this episode you might like our Slave Trade episodehttps://www.historystorytime.com/e/the-slave-trade/

Oprah Winfrey read by Gayle King
^{00:23:16 | Season: 3 | Episode: 15 | June 15th, 2020}

Once upon a time, there was a girl whose little voice grew to make a big difference. Her name was Oprah. When Oprah won a beauty pageant, a local radio invited her to the studio to realize her dream of becoming a broadcast journalist. But it wasn’t easy. Oprah did not fit into the image that media titans wanted at the time. Nevertheless, she charmed audiences with her inner strength and generosity. And as Oprah’s fame grew, she used her platform to take care of others. She built libraries, started scholarships, and founded schools. For decades, Oprah’s empathetic, authentic stories have helped others open up about their own.
