Professor Gus John debunks the notion that the arrival of the Empire Windrush marked the beginning of the evolution and growth of multiracial Britain and the claim that the ‘Windrush generation’ rebuilt post-war Britain and made it prosperous again. It is a narrative that displaces the history of those settled black communities who struggled against racism and marginalisation in Britain since the 19th century, at least, and those who fought for national independence of the Black Commonwealth while building a global Pan-Africanist movement right here in Britain. Worse yet, the Windrush narrative represents a settlement with the British state that is akin to the failed TuTu-led Peace and Reconciliation project in unreconstructed apartheid South Africa.








Black Theology Forum, Thursday 26th May, 7.30pm
Panellists: Professor Gus John, Professor Robert Beckford, Dr Elizabeth Henry, Dr Eve Parker, Rev Alton Bell and Rev Ron Nathan
Chair: Dr Dulcie Dixon McKenzie
After the Flood, The Church, Slavery and Reconciliation - a panel response.
Discussion question: How should the Church of England pay reparation?
An online discussion about the significance of the new film documentary ‘After the Flood’ that aims to be educational and redemptive, addressing the historical neglect of slavery in British Christian history. The film looks at biblical principles for racial reconciliation in our churches today, and a pre-requisite for British churches to confront slavery, necessary to overturn injustices resulting from its legacy.
