This photograph is from the series 'Rock Against Racism'. Between 1976 and 1981, the movement Rock Against Racism confronted racist ideology in the streets, parks and town halls of Britain. The movement was formed by a collective of musicians and political activists to fight racism and fascism through music. Under the slogan 'Love Music, Hate Racism', it showcased reggae and punk bands on the same stage, attracting large multicultural audiences. At a time when the National Front – a far-right fascist political party – was gaining support, Rock Against Racism marked the rising resistance to violent and institutionalised racism. In total, it organised five carnivals and more than 500 gigs across Britain. Rock Against Racism did not have an official photographer and Shelton has produced the largest collection of images of the movement.
