- Moving on in Britain, 'Trevor Mcdonald isn't seen as a Black news reporter anymore but as ' the news reporter' which shows how we've moved on'.


- 1948 - Britain was almost exclusively white, but Britain was about to experience the biggest wave of non- white immigration in its history.


- Rooms being put up for rent 'No niggas need apply' - black people were made to feel like they weren't welcome.


- Black people said they'd been brought up to respect their royal family so they wouldn't dare to speak a word against them. 'The flag was our flag' Black people weren't ready to be pushed aside.


- During the war the Caribbean helped to pay for the planes etc. But the Caribbean  made more of an impact with their man power rathe than money efforts. Lots of men from the caribbean were eager to help out.


- The clip shows how the West Indians had a great impact helping in the war.
