Knowsley Against Racism
- Racism is a serious crime that has a major effect on people's lives.
- Too often this crime is ignored.
- This is where it stops.
Knowsley Against Racism is a campaign
to challenge all forms of racial hatred
and make Knowsley a safer place in
which all people can live, work and
spend their leisure time regardless of
their background. The council and its
partners have launched this campaign as
part of a strategy to stamp out racism
in Knowsley.
The campaign was launched at King
George V playing fields on 23 October
2005 through a programme of lively and
family focused activities that
celebrated diversity, highlighted
different cultures, and gave out a
strong anti-racism message.
