The "Windrush generation" refers to a group of people who arrived in the United Kingdom from the Caribbean between 1948 and 1971. They were invited to help rebuild the country after World War II and many traveled on the ship named MV Empire Windrush. This generation played a significant role in shaping British culture and society. Many members of the Windrush generation settled in the UK and contributed to various sectors, including healthcare, transportation, and the arts. However, in recent years, some faced challenges regarding their immigration status, leading to the Windrush scandal, which highlighted issues of discrimination and injustice.
