In today’s political landscape, the voices of our young people have become more crucial than ever, bringing fresh insights and energy to debates about the future of our nation.

I am honored to be joined by two outstanding young attorneys, Britney Edwards and Danmar Clarke, who have been both observers and advocates within Jamaica’s dynamic social and legal environment.

As youth navigating challenges and opportunities in our evolving democracy, Britney and Danmar offer unique perspectives not only on the issues that affect their own generation, but also on what the future holds for Jamaica as we stand at the crossroads of change.

Welcome to the Civics Master Class Series, where we embark on a journey to explore the vibrant interplay between civics and culture in shaping the unique tapestry of Jamaica. Civic life in Jamaica is deeply rooted in its rich history of resilience, community, and self-determination—a legacy inherited from its indigenous Taino people, the era of colonization, and the relentless pursuit of emancipation and independence. The Jamaican motto, "Out of Many, One People," is more than a national slogan; it reflects the fusion of African, European, Asian, and indigenous influences that continue to enrich the nation’s civic conversations, democratic values, and social responsibilities.

The Windrush scandal refers to a series of injustices faced by individuals from Caribbean nations who legally migrated to the UK between 1948 and 1971, primarily invited to help address post-World War II labor shortages. These individuals, known as the Windrush generation, arrived as British subjects with full rights to settle in the UK.

The scandal came to public attention in 2017–2018, when it was revealed that hundreds of long-term UK residents—many of whom had lived in the country for decades—were being wrongfully detained, threatened with deportation, denied access to public services, and in some cases, deported or refused re-entry to the UK. The Home Office’s demand for extensive documentation to prove residency rights was impossible for many to meet.

A 2020 independent review concluded that the scandal was “foreseeable and avoidable,” resulting from decades of immigration legislation and a Home Office culture marked by “ignorance and thoughtlessness”. The government established a compensation scheme, but by 2021, only a small fraction of victims had received payments, and many died before receiving redress.
