Windrush Day

Windrush Day is coming! But what is it exactly? It has been celebrated annually in the UK since 2018. It takes place on 22 June, the date in 1948 when the arrival of a ship called the HMT Windrush heralded the beginning of a wave of immigration from British colonies,. This 75th anniversary year will be an opportunity to celebrate the thousands of Caribbean people who emigrated to the U.K. in order to help rebuild the country in the aftermath of World War Two. On arrival, not only were they shocked at the unfriendly weather but they also felt rejected by the unfriendly British people.
