My parents taught me resilience - that's how Windrush generation survived, says Dawn Butler

When Labour MP Dawn Butler’s parents came to the UK from Jamaica in the 1950s, they almost expected the streets to be paved with gold.

Her dad first came over alone, saving up so he could send for her mum to join him a few years later.

“It was a real shock to his system,” Dawn says. “He found England to be quite dirty. He came from Jamaica, which is a clean and green country, with fresh fruit and food.”
