Black Going Grey
'May the work you've done speak for you, May the life you've lived speak for you' sings 88-year-old
Frances Irving. But for most black pensioners there is no one who will speak for them.
'To tell you the truth-white or black-when a person reaches a certain age in this country nobody wants you around.' (JOHN PHILLIP , retired electrician)
Many of that great influx of West Indians who came to this country after the war are now pensioners and for them the only way to get a voice and be noticed is to form their own clubs and groups.
Made at the request of the Wandsworth Black Elderly Project.
