The Forgotten Generations: Lest We Forget exhibition

This exhibition celebrates the public service of black Royal Air Force (RAF) veterans from the West Midlands since the Second World War.

It shares the personal stories of 7 African and Caribbean men and women who served in the RAF, with a special focus on Albert Jarrett and Johnny Smythe.

The Forgotten Generations records the military and civilian lives of people from British African and Caribbean countries.

Thanks to support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the exhibition brings together 7 decades of history and service.
