Episode Two - The Struggle for Acceptance
<p>In this episode of 'Echoes of the Caribbean' we examine the prejudice that Bradford’s early West Indian migrants faced as they built a life here.</p> <p>Many people who had travelled from the Caribbean had a strong sense of their Britishness, plenty had served in the British armed forces during the war and they had an expectation that they would be welcomed in the 'mother country'. </p> <p>However, this was not always the case, many of the indigenous population were not used to seeing black people and saw the migrants as a threat.</p> <p>Facing racism and prejudice on a daily basis made life hard for many in Bradford’s West Indian community. But on occasions it could be even worse when hate turned to violence.</p> <p>In 1986 volunteers at Checkpoint West Indian Community Centre in Bradford recorded the memories of early settlers, talking about their experiences over the previous three decades settling into a new way of life in Yorkshire.</p> <p>We have now been given access to this treasure trove of first hand testimony that we can share with you.<br></p>
