In light of the attacks on refugees and asylum seekers, the Migration Museum said in a post on LinkedIn: “As an organisation that explores how the movement of people to and from the UK across the ages has shaped who we are as individuals, families, communities, and as nations, we are deeply committed to standing up against division and hatred.
Our Trustee Robert Winder wrote an op-ed in the Guardian responding to the riots referencing the Migration Museum and our work.
