Kemi Badenoch – 2021 Comments on the National Windrush Monument

The comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the Communities Minister, on 15 October 2021.

I want to congratulate Basil Watson on being selected to design the National Windrush Monument. The government is very pleased to be sponsoring this commemoration.

His design will celebrate and honour the contribution of the Windrush generation, right at the centre of our nation’s capital.

The Monument will become a permanent place of reflection and inspiration for all, reminding us of our shared history and heritage.
