Jubilee Street, StepneyLondon 1977
Lewisham 1977Our roots in underground-press psychedelic leftism came inhandy when it was time to propagandise our opposition to theswastika tendency in punk, and the National Front’s attempt toinfiltrate punk in order to recruit amongst disaffectedwhite youth.I went on the Lewisham counter-demo against the NF, andnarrowly avoided getting my skull kicked in by a police horse;judging by the steaming turds they left behind, the police horseswere even more scared than we were. Fortunately the NF were so obviously stupid and brutal that theirrecruitment was confined to stupid brutes, and the likes of RockAgainst Racism and the Anti Nazi League– fronted by The Clashand The Tom Robinson band – together with the steadfastness ofthe black community, soon chased them back to the peripheries.’ Charles Shaar Murray, The Independent Newspaper, 2005.
Contact Sheets 1976-1981‘They have assumed a new meaning for me, charged with 30years of personal and political history. The discovery ofimages on the contacts, has shed light on forgottenmoments’. Syd Shelton
The flag design is inspired by 'There ain't no black in the Union Jack'by Paul Gilroy. The process of making the flag and choosing thebadges turned into an emotional journey, irretrievably stitched andpinned into it are memories of one man. We shared our battles, ourbadges and our love. Wish you were here, Dave’. Ruth Gregory
This Rock Against Racism roundal was stapled to a woodenhandle and carried at anti-racist demonstrations and RARCarnivals. It is an adaptation of the original RAR Star designedby David King in 1976, plus one of RAR’s slogan.
This leaflet was produced to raise funds after a firebomb attackon the Albany Empire Theatre, Deptford 1978, a regular RARvenue. ‘The day after it was burnt out, a note was passed throughwhat remained of its letterbox. In cut out newspaper lettering amessage read - “Got You.”‘ Les Back ‘Written in Stone’.
