Today is Windrush Day and marks 74 years since the HMT Empire Windrush arrived in the UK. The ship was carrying 1,027 passengers, 802 of whom gave their last country of residence as somewhere in the Caribbean; additional documented countries of residence are India, Pakistan, Kenya and South Africa. Today, we recognise and thank all those who arrived on Empire Windrush and their descendants, for the contributions they have made and continue to make to Britain.

On 17 June, IWM will mark Windrush 75 with a celebratory day of discussion, debate and performance at IWM London. The arrival of the HMT Empire Windrush in 1948 was a foundational moment in British history. For many onboard, it was not just an arrival, but a return. Hosted by the IWM Institute in partnership with the Windrush 75 Network and British Future, 'From War to Windrush 75' will bring together historians, writers, broadcasters and poets to examine the the significance of Windrush.
