Английская Википедия:Campaign Against Racial Discrimination
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates The Campaign Against Racial Discrimination (CARD) was a British organization, founded in 1964 and which lasted until 1967, that lobbied for race relations legislation. The group's formation was inspired by a visit by Martin Luther King Jr. to London in December 1964 on his way to Oslo to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.[1] The Trinidadian pacifist Marion Glean, then a graduate student at the London School of Economics, arranged with Bayard Rustin for King to meet a group of Black spokespersons and activists at the Hilton Hotel,[2] where an ad hoc committee was formed for a movement to "agitate for social justice and oppose all forms of discrimination",[3] with CARD formally being launched at the next meeting on 10 January 1965.[4]
CARD's founding members included Jocelyn Barrow as well as Marion Glean, politician Anthony Lester, London County Councillor David Pitt, historian C.L.R. James, Dipak Nandy and the sociologist Hamza Alvi.[4] Lawyer Richard Small served as CARD's press officer.[5]
