UK: National Assembly Against Racism
01 January 1995
Over seven hundred people gathered in Tower Hamlets, east London for the National Assembly against Racism conference. Speakers included MPs Bernie Grant and Ken Livingstone, TUC General Secretary John Monks and representatives from various campaigning groups and campaigns including Newham Monitoring Project and the Shiji Lapite Campaign.
Speakers from the platform and the floor emphasised the need for unity within the anti-racist movement and the requirement for more concrete activity in the fight against racism. A draft charter against racism was launched at the conference with the aim that the proposals within it should be discussed by the movement.
