In celebration of Windrush Memorial Day on the 22nd June, the TalkBack show is dedicated to remembering and honouring the generation upon whose shoulders we stand - the Windrush generation.
The show contributors are three guests who are committed to memorialising and archiving the stories of the Windrush generation as well as campaigning for restorative justice.

Dr Cox gained her PhD in the Dept of African Studies and Anthropology University of Birmingham in 2013 and is the winner of the prestigious RE Bradbury Memorial Prize. Her particular expertise lies in post-colonial literature and particularly in 20th-century Anglophone-Caribbean literature as well as oral history interviewing.

George Grignon
is a first generation British born descendant of the Windrush generation. Born and raised in Derby to Jamaican parents, he was inspired by the fortitude and tenacity of the Windrush generation which was the catalyst for a number of entrepreneurial endeavours. In addition to being an entrepreneur, George is a musician and organises a number of events with his group SoulDeep. He is currently archiving documentaries of the stories of members of the Windrush generation and organising events and plaques in their honour.
We truly stand on the shoulders and giants and we give our profound and deepest thanks and gratitude to the Windrush generation.
