Racism and Anti-Racism in Britain (w/ Asad Rehman)

Author: Michael Walker August 11, 2024 Duration: 1:08:47

In this fascinating episode I spoke to Asad Rehman, who grew up amid racist violence from the National Front in Burnley in the 1970s and 1980s, and who has spent his life since then campaigning against racism.
