Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR ) is being relaunched, more than 40 years after its predecessor Rock Against Racism .

The movement emerged in 1976 in reaction to a rise in racist attacks before LMHR launched in 2002 .

During the late 1970s and early 80s , areas of Britain experienced increasing racial intolerance and violence.

Two racist killings, one attempted murder, several petrol bombings and numerous attacks in the city.

Love Music Hate Racism re-launch is at LTB , Littern Tree Building Showrooms , 1 Warwick Road, Coventry from 17:00 GMT on Saturday 9 November .

Organisers say music is a universal language that binds us together regardless of what type of human being you are.
