"We're proud that they made that journey and they made that journey for us."

Happy Windrush Day! The Windrush experience began when the ship HMT Empire Windrush arrived in Britain on 22 June 1948. Caribbean people were invited to Britain to help rebuild the country after World War 2. Receiving an invitation from the British Government on behalf of the King, many responded positively and journeyed over 4,000 miles to England’s ‘green and pleasant land’. Back in the summer of 2020 as part of the Whitehall Historic House National Lottery Heritage Fund project, members from

Three quarters of a century ago, after docking at Tilbury on the Empire Windrush, hundreds of the passengers on board who'd sailed from Caribbean countries were directed to this neighbourhood. Those men and women alongside all the others on the ship had answered a call from the UK government to come and help rebuild the country after the war. Their immense contribution was celebrated today up and down the country. "We are forever grateful" to them, said the Prince of Wales earlier. But the Windr

But though invited, they were not always welcomed when they got here, often facing racism, struggling to find work or a home. We’ve been talking to 97-year-old Alford Gardner - one of only two surviving passengers who were on the ship. | Channel 4 News

Zachariah looked at the water and felt the song swell inside him. It was said each person recognised their fate in the song, and a
