		Rock Against Racism, respondent in this case, is an unincorporated association which, in its own words, is "dedicated to the espousal and promotion of antiracist views." Each year from 1979 through 1986, RAR has sponsored a program of speeches and rock music at the bandshell.

		RAR declined the invitation and filed suit in United States District Court against the city, its mayor, and various police and parks department officials, seeking an injunction directing issuance of an event permit.

		The idea of Rock against Racism was a worthwhile one, but the execution was lacking.
		For readers unaware of the significance of the day, let me briefly explain: it is the day the South African police in Sharpville opened fire on a peaceful demonstration by fl Africans, killing 69 and wounding 180; most of whom were shot in the back as they fled.
		On the whole, the idea of a community-supported activity against racism is a good one, but a suggestion for next year: let’s try not to forget the point of the gathering—to combat racism.

	Punk, Anti-Racism, Death In June
		While RAR were happy to take the money raised by Adam and the Ants, the organisation clearly felt nothing but contempt for the band, so it is perhaps not surprising that the alliance between this mismatched pairing didn't last long.
		The attempt to impose the elimination of Nazism as a priority on the diverse and complex political consciousness crystallised by RAR was a miscalculation.
		RAR's disinterest in those who are unlikely to tow a party line and the unwillingness of its activists to engage in debates that might help recalcitrant individuals develop progressive political positions is evident from the Ants interview: "ADAM: There's one other number in the set that I must tell you about.

	Northumbria socialist students rock against racism \| The Socialist 17 - 23 Nov 2005
		We began the year by petitioning against racism and for our local NUS to support campaigns against racist organisations such as the British National Party (BNP) and the National Front, as a part of the national campaign, No to terror, no to war, no to racism.
		It was backed by the Yorkshire and Humber TUC and local community groups who had been subject to increased racism and violent attack since the BNP stepped up their campaign to profit from the mood of uncertainty and fear which has developed after the 7 July terrorist attacks on London.
		We are also supporting TWAFA in their campaign against the BNP in the coming Gateshead by-election and the Socialist Party branch in the council elections next year when we will be able to oppose the far right by offering a real political alternative to the vicious cuts and attacks of the political establishment.

		Rock Against Racism even puts out it's own mag, despite lack of finances, and despite the other side being so big and all.

		Rock Against Racism is back with a vengeance, with all of the energy, anger and pride in a just cause that accompanied the movement when it made its first appearance back in the 70’s.
		Eric Clapton was the unwitting match that lit the touch paper of the movement when he upset the whole music industry by speaking out at a 1976 concert in support of Enoch Powell at a time when the BNP were growing in popularity and race hate was spilling onto the streets of Britain.
		Apathetic, bored and downtrodden, Rock Against Racism pulled their heads up with a jerk and shouted out that if they were going to join a Party then it might as well be one with a decent soundtrack!
