ON SATURDAY March 16 tens of thousands of people will take to the streets of London, Glasgow and Cardiff on the “Unite Against Racism and Fascism” marches initiated by Stand Up To Racism and supported by the TUC, most major trade unions, faith and campaigning organisations.
This year’s demonstrations are part of a genuinely international day of action with events in London, Glasgow, Cardiff, Washington, New York and many cities across Europe and Australia.
The wave of UN Anti-Racism Day demonstrations is not just some annual ritual (although any event that marks the Sharpeville massacre in apartheid South Africa would be worthy of remembering).
