Are you ready to recognise #Windrush Day on June 22nd? Have you embedded this history and related legacies into your curriculum? With rising anti-immigrant rhetoric & people openly discussing 'remigration', it's vital educators challenge this & offer a counter-narrative of #Britishness & #belonging.
