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. |

Race Equality Foundation - Tackling Race Inequalities Programme |
Race Equality Foundation working towards in improving services to BME The Race Equality Foundation's Tackling Race Inequalities Programme will provide health and housing practitioners with the tools and knowledge to improve services to black and minority ethnic communities. On www.better-housing.org.uk and www.better-health.org.uk practitioners will find evidence based briefing papers, examples of good practice, a forum to explore evidence and the opportunity to network with others to promote race equality in housing and health. By using the Tacking Race Inequalities Fund (2009- 2011) the Foundation focuses on to promote equality of opportunity for people from black and minority ethnic groups; address inequalities of access to reduce the gaps in outcomes for people from black and minority ethnic groups; and work with particularly disadvantaged people within black and minority ethnic (BME) groups.
