Reading about #windrushreport today and by chance stumbled across a copy of the #edinburgheveningcourant on eBay. This article is from 165 years ago, May 23rd 1857. How shameful that 165 years on, POC are still treated as second class citizens, or worse, not considered citizens at all, having been brought to the UK as children because their parents were “useful”. Then deported back to a country they never knew because (!) no longer useful. But yeah. Queen’s jubilee. Hoo-feckin-ray 🙄 The suffering the slaves endured must have been barely survivable as it’s described here. #slavetrade #triangulartraderoute #windrushscandal #slavery #history #terriblebadness #nightmarefuel (at Lochend, City of Edinburgh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeQZuQyoEWm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
