The Windrush refers to the migration of people from the Caribbean to the United Kingdom between 1948 and 1971. The name comes from the ship, HMT Empire Windrush, which brought the first group of immigrants to the UK. These individuals were invited by the British government to help rebuild the country after World War II. Despite facing racism and discrimination, the Windrush generation made significant contributions to British society. However, the Windrush scandal exposed the mistreatment of some members of this community, including the denial of their citizenship rights and the threat of deportation.
