Object history
Racialism is the more historical synonym of racism. Now outdated, the term was widely used during the 1970s.
Around 1971 there was the creation of a ‘Hackney Committee Against Racialism’ by Hackney people concerned about the local impact of racist statements by Enoch Powell. The group remained active throughout the 1970s against the activities and presence of the National Front.
