Brief description:
Ms Veronica Benjamin (Cindy), oral history recording. One of 24 interview recordings with members of the Windrush Generations who settled in Bradford detailing their experiences of leaving the Caribbean and working and living in Bradford. A 2022 project funded by the British Library and managed by Nigel Guy, Director of Windrush Generations in partnership with Bradford Council's Bradford District Museums and Galleries Service, set out to capture and preserve the previously untold stories of those from the Windrush Generation who came to live in the Bradford District. As part of the project three young people from the Bradford district, with African and Caribbean heritage, took part in training and then interviewed over 20 Black elders to discover their stories of coming to Bradford as part of the Windrush Generation.
