Introduction
The 'Windrush generation' is the name given to migrants who came to Britain from the Caribbean between the end of World War II and the 1970s. Their name comes from HMT Empire Windrush, which was the most famous ship to make the voyage.
In 2018, many Windrush migrants began to be wrongfully targeted, detained, and even deported by the British Home Office. This became known as the 'Windrush scandal.'
