Post-war Britain. Immigration

Description

Four lesson starters that illustrate different aspects of immigration to Britain since 1945.Race Relations: originally from Jamaica, Roy Hackett describes moving to Britain in the 1950s. He was central to the Bristol bus boycott of 1963 that became a lightning rod for anger at racial discrimination at the time. New Neighbours: Stapleton Road in Bristol has changed dramatically since the 1950s and is now home to a huge variety of immigrant communities, represented by the shops and businesses up and down the road. Changing Churches: Three churches represent religious change in Britain: a Nigerian-based church has been created in a former nightclub, while two disused Christian churches have been converted into a Mosque and a Hindu temple.The Immigrant's Story: Evrim's family arrived in Britain as illegal immigrants. After seven years in the UK, they faced deportation. Animated drawings are used to illustrate Evrim's experience of being raided by the police.
