Anti-Racism Movement Resurrected by The Specials: A Call to Action in 2024
Amid rising racial tensions and recent riots in the UK, Lynval Golding of The Specials recalls the painful echo of past racist violence in Coventry. He and others are reigniting the Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) movement, building on the legacy of Rock Against Racism, which emerged to combat a surge in racist attacks in the 1970s. This resurgence comes with a concert in Coventry, a city marked by historical racial violence, aiming to unite people through music and confront the rising far-right sentiment across Europe. Golding emphasizes the need for solidarity against racism now more than ever.
