Windrush Generations

The Windrush Generation refers to people from Caribbean countries who moved to the UK between 1948 and 1971, primarily to help rebuild the nation after World War II. Many were invited to fill labor shortages and contributed significantly to British society, culture, and economy. Despite their vital contributions, some faced discrimination and challenges with immigration status, leading to a public scandal known as the Windrush Scandal. Their legacy highlights the importance of diversity and the lasting impact of migration on the UK’s social fabric.
