“No Colour Bar” Dance – London 1955
I’m carrying out research for my novel about Caribbean and Irish immigrants to London, England (like my parents). I came across some interesting videos including this Pathe report from 1955. It features a dance in London where the Mayor of Lambeth (one of the London Boroughs) invited 180 “English” people and 180 “West Indians” to a dance, in order to improve relations between the existing population and the newer immigrants from the British Caribbean.–Clare
