In response to a recent rise in racist violence, Lynval Golding of The Specials emphasizes the need to address racism as Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) relaunches in Coventry, building on the legacy of Rock Against Racism. The revival includes a poignant concert featuring local artists, highlighting the city’s turbulent history with racial intolerance. As Golding reflects on past experiences of violence and the emotional trauma they’ve caused, he asserts the importance of music in uniting people against hatred. The event, scheduled for November 9, aims to reinforce solidarity and cultural diversity in the face of ongoing challenges.
