    Rock Against Racism 1977-81 PHOTOZINE Photographs by Syd Shelton

    The Clash, The Specials, The Ruts et al ...

    Between 1976 and 1981 Rock Against Racism and the youth of Britain unleashed the explosive rebel chemistry of Punk and Reggae bands in a five year festival of multi culturalism. Under the slogan ‘Love Music, Hate Racism’, Rock Against Racism took on the orthodoxy through 5 Carnivals, and over 500 gigs throughout the UK. In those five years the National Front went from a serious electoral threat into political oblivion. (Syd Shelton)
