Question: How far did migration and action lead to fairer treatment in Britain? Distinguish contribution, campaigning and changes in law.
W | A journey recorded, 1948
The Empire Windrush brought passengers to Tilbury on 22 June 1948. The shipping record lists names, ages, occupations and proposed addresses. On this page Kenneth Amos is recorded as 21 and a welder; Rubert Adolphus as 24 and a carpenter. A recorded occupation is not proof of a job secured in Britain. The form does not directly record each person's reason for travelling.

B | A collective campaign, 1963
The Bristol Omnibus Company excluded Black and Asian people from work as bus crews. Paul Stephenson, Roy Hackett, Owen Henry, Audley Evans and Prince Brown were among the campaign organisers. Supporters refused to use the buses. The company ended the employment colour bar in August 1963. This was a collective campaign; it did not end all racism.

R | A law with limits, 1965
The Race Relations Act 1965 prohibited racial discrimination in specified public places in Great Britain. It did not cover major areas such as employment and most housing. It was a legal change, but it did not make all treatment fair or remove racism. A rule and people's everyday experiences are different kinds of evidence.
