Object history
London Against Racism was a major campaign by the Greater London Council aiming to make people aware of the damaging and divisive effects of racism in London, particularly in the way larger organisations perpetuate racism in their structures and practices.
The campaign asked people and organisations to:
1. Recognise that racism runs through all aspects of life in London; not ignore it, condone it, or gloss over it.
2. Agree the fundamental right of all Londoners to enjoy a level of real equality, justice, freedom and security that currently does not exist.
3. Create conditions, at home, at work and in the community that make it impossible for racism to operate.
4. Join with all ordinary people in London to fight the disadvantages common to them all.
5. Examine, criticise, challenge and change the structures that perpetuate racism in organisations.
