DESCRIPTION:

The Windrush Generation first arrived in Britain from the Caribbean on June 22, 1948, and would continue to migrate through 1971. Though invited, many were detained, denied health care and housing benefits, or deported. This event was first declared in 2018 after a public scandal hit the front pages earlier in the year.

Arthur Torrington, director of The Windrush Foundation, stated upon the date's announcement, "It will cement in the national consciousness the important contribution of those who traveled from the Caribbean to Britain 70 years ago to build a better life and participate in making Britain a stronger nation."
