My Hidden Journey

August 4 1972 Idi Amin ordered the expulsion of over 80000 Ugandan Asians from the country. A brave few stayed but most left to Asia or Europe. Stripped of everything my family chose to start over in Britain. There we faced setback after setback but eventually established a home. Our story is just one of tens of thousands. I lived history. Though others may tell it different this is my experience. My family and I built ourselves from the ground up standing strong against an endless wave of racism that sought to keep us in our place. To be able to simply walk down the street in peace once seemed impossible.
