Martina Mavis Clark from Jamaica, James Herbert from Nevis and Guyanese Edwin Ho, talk openly about early life in Birmingham where they experienced extreme hardship, racial abuse and family loss.
Now in his 80s, ex-boxer Edwin Ho is exceptional as he is able to pinpoint exactly where his cabin was located on the ship HMT Empire Windrush. Reflections Includes rare archive material of Birmingham in the 1940s and 50s.
Reflections provides excellent resource material for debate during Black History Month and associated events.
