Racial Equality Enshrined

On the 50th anniversary this month of Britain’s first Race Relations Act, Ritula Shah considers the role of legislation in ending racial discrimination. She is joined by Lord Lester of Herne Hill who, with Geoffrey Bindman, helped draw up the original legislation in 1965.
We hear how a handful of determined and passionate liberals convinced leaders of the need for anti-racist legislation – including Jim Rose who, aided by Nicholas Deakin and others, assiduously gathered evidence of prejudice and discriminatory practices commonplace in post-war Britain for the landmark Survey of Race Relations.
The Civil Rights Movement in the US also inspired the newly-arrived Caribbean and South Asian communities in London, Southall, Bristol and Birmingham to campaign and demonstrate unflinchingly for their equal rights, pressing the government for legislation.
But for all the jubilation when the law was enshrined, it was in Lester’s words ‘pathetic’. The legislation applied only to certain public places and excluded housing and employment. Also, it was almost impossible to enforce.
In 1968, the Act was refreshed and improved, and yet the Commonwealth Immigrants Act of the same year revealed a “janus-faced” legislation – repelling stateless East Africans with British passports on the one hand and pushing for racial equality on the other.
In 1976, legislation addressed insidious, indirect acts of racism within institutions, but no law would tackle racism within the police until the aftermath of Stephen Lawrence’s murder in 1993.
Ritula asks whether the newly formed Equalities and Human Rights Commission is equipped to enforce what Lord Lester considers to be the world ‘model’ of equality legislation.
