Windrush Day

Windrush Day, celebrated on June 22nd in the UK, honors the contributions of the Windrush generation—people from the Caribbean who migrated to Britain between 1948 and 1971. Many arrived to help rebuild the country after World War II. The day recognizes their cultural impact and contributions to British society. It also serves as a reminder of the challenges they faced, including recent immigration controversies. Windrush Day promotes awareness, appreciation, and reflection on the diverse heritage that shapes modern Britain.
