Included are images representing paintings from Michael Elliot's "Windrush Series, "Brixton Brewing" and "The Drop", preceded by a statement describing the importance of the series, which represents the history of West Indians who migrated to Britain and the social problems that they faced. Incorporated in the works are the elements of tea cups which are representative of the original Windrush ship, and tea bags which illustrate the essence being drained from the Black man until there is nothing left to give.
