This picture speaks for itself. The Notting Hill Carnival is made of immigrants. It's led by London's West Indian community, and is a celebration of the Trinidadian's end of slavery. This carnival is full of expressions with their parades, music, diversity, costumes, vibrant color, and parties. This picture represents coming of age because this carnival is a form of liberation from server oppression.
After World War I, many Afro-Caribbeans were immigrants that moved to Britain. When a person is enslaved, they have no sense of identity and this sign portrays the identity they found with this carnival.
This picture represents the pride they found within themselves, and what they want to convey for others. Next to the "Migrants Made Carnival," there is writing stating "Immigration Centre's Are [prisons] No Human Is..." Not only did the Trinidadians receive liberation in freedom, but they were able to speak up and voice their opinions and influence others of their culture.
