A reason for #hope. I was at a UK secondary school in the 70s and remember #RockAgainstRacism leaflets outside the school gates.
The #WhiteRiot documentary is a good reminder how overt #fascism and #racism were in 70s Britain. And the power of grass-root responses.
It's grim to see so much rolled back so fast, but I take some comfort that in my lifetime these right-wing attitudes were defeated, or at least shamed and largely shunned.
