Windrush Day

[jazzy_dave]

On June 22, 1948, the ship HMT Empire Windrush landed at Tilbury Docks, just east of London, bringing with it the first immigrants from the Caribbean. The ship's name inspired the term, the Windrush Generation, to denote the large-scale influx of Caribbean immigrants during the years that followed. I think, because of Black Lives Matter, it should be a public holiday.

Meanwhile some music -

We get nothing like enough public holidays here and I agree that this would be a good'un!
