UNITY: Syd Shelton Photo Essay! 1970s UK Anti-Racism Punks

Rock Against Racism was a UK-based organization that used music to fight the fascists by putting together showcases where punk and reggae bands shared the stage. The idea was to bring people together, to get to know each other and each other’s music culture, and it was a big success. Photographer Syd Shelton was one of the founders of Rock Against Racism, and today we have an awesome collection of his photos of the time, including shots of the RAR concerts and anti-racism protests. So step back in time through these rad photos!
