Lonnie Donegan speaking at an anti-racism meeting, UK; 1959
The singer Lonnie Donegan gives an interview at a meeting of the Stars Campaign for Interracial Friendship (SCIF), an anti-racism organisation in the UK. He says, 'You know, in my little span of life, I've come across such a sea of bigotries and prejudices... I get so fed up with it now. I feel I have to do something about it. And this is the first real chance I've had. I suppose they gave me a chance of joining because I'm the kind of bloke who opens my mouth and puts my foot in it, which is in this case a good thing.' UK; 1959. (LCA6661A - AEVZ001J)
