This became known as the Windrush generation, and signified a new chapter in the history of the United Kingdom.

Key Points: 
  • This became known as the Windrush generation, and signified a new chapter in the history of the United Kingdom.
  • This article is part of our Windrush 75 series, which marks the 75th anniversary of the HMT Empire Windrush arriving in Britain.
  • Race equality think tank, the Runnymede Trust, has described the Windrush story as “an integral part of British history”.
  • And there is no major institution for children to view the legacies of the Windrush generation and their impact on Britain.

Coming to Britain

    • The British invitation to Caribbeans to come to Britain after the second world war can be traced back to the British Nationality Act of 1948.
    • The Windrush generation refers to the people who migrated from Caribbean countries to the United Kingdom between 1948 and 1971.
    • However, Caribbean immigration did not cease after this period, and migrants have settled ever since, influencing Britain’s demographic composition.
    • In 1948, an underground shelter in Clapham South tube station was used as temporary housing for people from the Caribbean.

The Windrush pioneers

    • Sam King MBE was one of the notable figures of the Windrush generation who played a significant role in the establishment of the annual Windrush Day on 22 June.
    • Born in Jamaica in 1926, he served in the British Army during the second world war before coming to Britain in 1948.
    • In the context of the Windrush generation, Hall’s theories are particularly relevant, as they help us to understand the ways in which Caribbean migrants and in particular the Windrush generation identities were constructed and represented in British culture.

The Windrush scandal

    • One of the most shameful episodes in this history is the Windrush scandal, which saw people who had lived in the UK for decades – including some who had friends who arrived on the Windrush – being wrongly deported or denied access to public services like the NHS.
    • This British government scandal came to light in 2017, when British citizens of Caribbean descent who had migrated to the UK between 1948 and 1971 were wrongly classified as illegal immigrants.
    • They then faced deportation, detention and some even lost their homes and livelihoods.

The National Windrush Museum

    • Yet there is no black culture museum or established school curriculum that focuses on the heritage of the Windrush generation.
    • In 2021 I founded the National Windrush Museum which I chair.
    • The National Windrush Museum provides a life laboratory in which to explore and develop this concept, which I hope will have a significant cultural impact on the heritage sector.
    • The founding of the National Windrush Museum stands as a vital, moving and significant historical moment.
