First Floor – #HereToStay70 Exhibition – Black History Month

September 30, 2018

October is Black History Month and the SWBH BME Staff Network working in partnership with the Trust are celebrating the contribution of the Windrush Generations, as this year marks 70 years since people from the Caribbean came over to the United Kingdom to help regenerate post war Britain.

Many of the Windrush passengers started working in the newly formed NHS and subsequent generations are delivering care to our patients. Our “Here to Stay” exhibition is on display at the Education Centre at Sandwell Hospital throughout October.

These personal portraits and stories have been collated by Ines Elsa Dalal who is a documentary photographer, concerned with the authorship of archives in the interest of attaining representational justice.
