"Between 1976 and 1981 Rock Against Racism and the youth of Britain unleashed the explosive rebel chemistry of punk and reggae bands in a five-year festival of multiculturalism. Under the slogan Love Music, Hate Racism, Rock Against Racism took on the orthodoxy through five carnivals and over five hundred gigs throughout the UK. In those five years the National Front went from a serious electoral threat into political oblivion."
