You called.

# You called and we came You called and we came. #

You called and we came.

You called and we came.

In ships bigger than anything we had seen,

dwarfing our islands and covering them

in the shadows of smoke and noise.

Crowded, excited voices filled the air, travelling to the motherland.

Over weeks, over oceans that threatened to engulf us.

Driven by a wish, a call to save, to rebuild and support efforts

to establish health for all in the aftermath of war.

You called and we came.

Women and men of position in our homelands,

nurses with a pride in the excellence of our care.

With experience of management, organisation and a sense of duty.

We appeared.

Smiling and eager to work on the wards,

communities and clinics of this England.

You called and we came.

Our big hearts, skilful hands and quick minds

encased in our skins of a darker hue.

Which had shimmered and glowed in our sunnier climes

but now signified our difference, our un-belonging.

Matrons became assistants, nurses became like chambermaids.

All the while striving to fulfil our promise

to succour, to serve, to care.

You called and we came.

The blue of the sister's uniform seemed as far away from us

as the moon.

Unreachable by our dark hands in this cold land -

but we were made of sterner stuff.

The hot sun, which once beat down on our ancestors,

when they too left their lands, shone within us.

Forging our hearts and minds with the resistance of ebony.

You called and we came.

Rising like the Phoenix, from the heat of rejection.

The blue uniforms had dark and lighter bodies beneath them.

Was valued despite the strangeness of our speech

and the kinks in our hair.

You called and we came.

A new millennium.

Recognising the richness of our kaleidoscope nation.

Not only the hopes and dreams of our ancestors.

Human values needed to truly lead change and add value.

Remember you called.

Remember you called.

YOU called.

Remember, it was us who came.

# You called and we came You called and we came

CHEERING

MAN: Enoch Powell was the most controversial of Tory politicians

before Margaret Thatcher.

His devotees claimed he was a man of unwavering principle.

His detractors, that he represented the respectable face

of gutter politics.

ENOCH POWELL: In this country, in 15 or 20 years' time,

the black man will have the whip hand over the white man.

Well, I can already hear the chorus of execration.

How dare I say such a horrible thing?

How dare I stir up trouble and inflame feelings

by repeating such a conversation?

My answer is that I do not have the right not to do so.

WHOOSHING

Arrival at the Tilbury.

The Empire Windrush brings to Britain 500...

No Irish, no blacks, no dogs.

Very hurtful.

What was the reason you came here?

Yes. A country wanted more people, and that's why we came.

We came to work. We came.

Just because they are saying I'm not British,

I know I'm British and I will remain British till I die.

London is the place for me.

Non-white immigration...

London, this lovely city.

You felt that you were an intruder, and truly you were a foreigner.

I know my children would have a better quality of education here

than in the West Indies.

And they begged people to come and fight for your motherland.

Come and fight for England.

They didn't really want us, but, my God,

we have a black population that is going to stay...
