On Windrush Day 2021, join Nottingham Black Archive for the launch of the When We Worked at Raleigh pop-up exhibition.

Refreshments will be provided. Visitor numbers are limited, please contact rebecca@weareprimary.org to book your visit.

When We Worked at Raleigh documents the experiences of members of the Windrush generation, and their descendants, who worked for Raleigh Industries from the 1950s to the 1980s. Over the course of the project, Nottingham Black Archive collected oral histories, documenting arrival and day-to-day experiences, and contributions to challenging racism and increasing workplace equality in one of Nottingham’s most famous industries. As part of the project a series of podcasts were produced, and photographer Vanley Burke created portraits of interviewees.
