Britain Honors Windrush Generation 75 Years After Arrival, Reflects on Legacy

Prince William and King Charles celebrated the contribution of Britain's Caribbean community on the 75th anniversary of the arrival of 1,027 Caribbean people on the Empire Windrush ship in 1948.
The Empire Windrush arrived in Tilbury Dock near London 75 years ago, carrying over 800 passengers from the Caribbean to new lives in Britain.
Windrush Day is being marked with community and official events to commemorate the Windrush generation.
Members of the Windrush generation and their descendants have had a colossal impact on British culture, including in music, art, and literature.
The Windrush scandal involved Commonwealth immigrants who were denied basic rights in Britain, and the nation is still reckoning with issues of race and belonging.
