IRR50 and the revolutionary act: ‘We are here to recommit’

Abstract

To open the IRR50 ‘New Circuits of Anti-racism Conference’ held at King’s College London in October 2022, Jenny Bourne, staff member, and Colin Prescod, IRR Chair, describe in their short speeches what the changing of the orientation of the Institute of Race Relations at its 1972 Extraordinary General Meeting had meant and how the organisation had changed its role and focused its commitment over fifty years. Their introduction includes description of the films for IRR directed by Prescod, Struggles for Black Community.
