Windrush Day was named for the Empire Windrush, a ship that brought hundreds of Caribbean immigrants to the U.K. in June 1948 to help fill a labor shortage following World War II, People magazine reported. According to the outlet, thousands of people, coined "The Windrush Generation," settled in the U.K. to help cities and industries rebuild after the war up until the early ‘70s. In 2018, Windrush Day was officially marked as a day of celebration by the government.
The outlet noted that the inaugural celebration came amid the Windrush Scandal, which saw hundreds of Caribbean immigrants living and working in the U.K. wrongly targeted by immigration enforcement. The monument was created to symbolize the courage and resilience of the British-Caribbean people.
