CONCLUSION

By acknowledging these stories, we recognize the overlooked tales that got swept under therug. Thus, we commemorate the resilience and fight of all British immigrants.There are many other stories and lives who aren’t mentioned so it is encouraged that we, as a society, continue to explore more and give them the recognition and they so deserve! As we embrace them, we honour the past but also pave a way for a brighter and diverse future!
