Similarly, Stephen Lawrence Day, held on 22nd April, is a powerful reminder of the ongoing need for social justice. Furthermore, Windrush Day, celebrated on 22nd June, honours the significant contributions of the Windrush generation to British society.These dates are excellent opportunities to discuss racial equality and promote meaningful change.
