Windrush Day in Children's Literature
Thursday 22 June 2023, marks the sixth national celebration of Windrush Day and 75 years since the HMT Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury Docks in Essex. The ship carried the first Caribbean migrants to the UK to help rebuild Britain after the Second World War.
