Windrush Day takes place on 22 June. It has been 75 years since the HMT Empire Windrush docked in Tilbury, Essex, on 22 June 1948, carrying passengers from the Caribbean to fill labour shortages in the UK. The ship became a symbol of a wider mass-migration movement, with those arriving in the UK from Caribbean countries becoming known as the Windrush Generation.
