Windrush Day: A public holiday to celebrate multicultural britain |
|
 "Britain can benefit from celebrating the contribution of immigrants to society."
says Patrick Vernon.
To commemorate the success and achievements of the civil rights movement in America there was a major campaign that lasted for several years which eventually made the birthday of Dr Martin Luther King a public holiday on the third Monday in January from 1986. This resulted from a number of Bills presented to Congress, but it was the petition of six million signatures, and the lobbying by celebrities such as Stevie Wonder, alongside the King Family and their Foundation, that made the day accepted as a public holiday and an opportunity to educate and inform future generations of Americans. |
