'My American Odyssey - From Windrush to the Whitehouse' charts the
life of a Black British boy, growing up in 1980s England, and
travelling around America, sharing the cultural, historical and, at
times emotional, links and contrasts between the two countries.
Roger Griffith is a successful social entrepreneur and local radio
personality - also known as the G-Man - with 24,000 listeners every
week on a community radio station he (co-owns) called Ujima Radio
98FM. He has a passion for sharing stories, observations and
insights on a perspective seldom shown - the special relationship
between America and Britain, as seen through a black man's eyes. In
'My American Odyssey', Roger documents the experiences of his
parents generation - known as the Windrush Generation - arriving
from the Caribbean to help rebuild the 'Motherland' after World War
II and his generation the first generation of Black-Britons born in
the UK. He reflects on growing up within two cultures, through
Thatcher's turbulent 1980s to the present day - with a black man as
the US president - Roger explores the influence of Black-British
and African-American culture through the prism of the civil rights
struggle and the life and work of Dr Martin Luther King. In sharing
his story, an evocative combination of travelogue, history,
politics and social commentary, Roger celebrates the lives of
African-Americans, West Indians and Black Britons, from their roots
of origin to the present day, as a new era of hope is not just
dawning but continues to rise.
