In June 1948, the ship Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury, carrying nearly five hundred passengers from the Caribbean. Britain needed workers to rebuild its economy after the war, and people from Jamaica, Trinidad and other islands were invited to come. They were British subjects and expected a warm welcome. Many found jobs in hospitals and on public transport, yet they also met suspicion and difficulty finding housing. Decades later, in 2018, a scandal revealed that some of their descendants had been wrongly treated as illegal immigrants.
