Monument For Windrush Generation
I am working with Maritime Archaeology Seat Trust (MAST) to raise £2 million to recover the anchors of the Empire Windrush which is at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Algeria for a new national monument to acknowledge the Windrush Generation and migration to Britain:

I believe this monument featuring the anchor of the Empire Windrush could be a source of inspiration for generations of black, brown and white people in Britain seeking to understand racism, white privilege, and trying to establish a society where citizenship and belonging is for all. It will symbolise migration, racial equality and the shared history of belonging and citizenship. Like the Statue of Liberty, it can become a beacon of hope. We should commit to realising this dream within three years given that June 2023 will be the 75th anniversary of the first arrival of the Windrush Generation
