42 years ago this week the National Front were stopped in Lewisham by anti racist coalition.
This event played a major part in the start of the fall of the National Front. During the 1970s the NF had made major gains in elections and were building a racist movement.
The NF organised a march through Lewisham is South London, they were physically confronted by the local comunity, trade unionists, and anti racisits. Even with Police protection the march capitulated.
Set with the backdrop of the music of the time here are Stories from the Battle of Lewisham.
