Here is a selection of photos of days out with the Coloured Men's Institute, taken from the Chunchie collection.
* Choose one of the pictures. Imagine you are one of the people in the picture and write an account of the day that the photo was taken. What were you doing? How did you feel? Who were you with?
Eastside would like to thank, in particular, Muriel Simpson, Kamal Chunchie's daughter, who provided us with the photographs, newspaper cuttings and her memories. We would also like to thank the children from Selwyn Primary for contributing towards the video and Rozina Visram, who has researched and written about Kamal. A special thanks to MLA London for funding this online resource.
