If it Can Happen in Coventry ...
It was a normal, busy Saturday afternoon in Coventry's modern shopping precinct. Suddenly a gang of youths attacked a young man. One of them pulled a knife and their victim lay dying.
That young man was Asian. Three weeks later 10,000 Asian families marched through the streets to demand protection. A city which once prided itself on racial harmony was being told it could face a crisis as serious as Brixton. or Southall.
Brass Tacks examines the frightening evidence of racial attacks and talks to those who face the task of restoring peace among the city's mixed population.
