This Art Print features the historic Empire Windrush Ship.
Empire Windrush London Art Print. Celebrating a generation that helped built Britain.
As an immigrant myself, Brixton was where I felt the most at home. I used to spend days wandering about the Village, and the adjoining Windrush Square. It's home to the Black Cultural Archives, the only national heritage centre dedicated to collecting, preserving, and celebrating the histories of African and Caribbean people in Britain.
The ship HMT Empire Windrush arrived at the Port of Tilbury on 21 June 1948 and its passengers disembarked a day later. The ship carried 492 Caribbean migrants, many of them veterans of the Second World War. The ship and its passengers have a symbolic status as the start of the Windrush Generation.
Windrush Day is celebrated on June 22nd every year, to celebrate this historic event.
