Windrush Part 8

This shows the funeral of the man that died which surprisingly brought both blacks and whites together as the funeral was interracial. Mosley was accussed of the death of this boy and for gangs such as 'The Teddy Boys'. I beleive that for Britain this was a realisation of how bad things had got for society; this caused a huge change as people began to rebel agianst Mosley. Secondly, white attitudes towards blacks changed and West-Indians began to see thier place within society. Also the 'Blues Party' was introduced by the West Indians and in addition to this a new type of music called 'Ska' was introduced by the blacks in the 1960's from these Blues Parties. The West Indians changed the British music scene as many white citizens beagn to listen to Carribean music, so there was a 'Jamaicanisation of white culture'
