# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Windrush and One Hundred Years of Caribbean Migration - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 22 Jun, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Mon, 22 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm - **Event Description**: Marking Windrush Day with a journey through 100 years of Caribbean migration and its impact on Britain and beyond.About this EventThe arrival of the Empire Windrush at Tilbury Docks in 1948 has become one of the defining moments in modern British history and is commemorated each year on Windrush Day, 22 June. Yet the story of Caribbean migration to Britain did not begin with Windrush. Caribbean people had been travelling, settling, and working in Britain - and across the wider world - for generations before 1948.Join historian Danny Thompson for this special Windrush Day event exploring over a century of Caribbean migration and the global movements that shaped modern Britain and the Caribbean diaspora. From the late nineteenth century through to the post-war period and the arrival of the Windrush generation, this talk will uncover the stories of those who left the Caribbean in search of opportunity, education, military service, political change and new lives abroad.Where did they go, and why? What challenges did they face? How did Caribbean communities shape the societies they became part of? And how did migration influence ideas of identity, culture, race and belonging in Britain and beyond?Drawing on historical research and personal stories, Danny Thompson places the Windrush generation within a much longer and richer history of Caribbean migration, revealing the profound contribution Caribbean people have made to British society and the wider world.The event will include a talk followed by an audience Q&A.About the speaker: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/b0de9ae0-6e25-11f1-9142-23c31cc090e3-rimg-w740-h740-dc00668c-gmir.jpg Danny Thompson is an educator, historian, artist and author with over thirty years’ experience in the arts as a filmmaker, musician, teacher and writer.
