  “I always think that the real offenders at the half-way mark of the last century were the bystanders – all those people who let things happen because it didn’t affect them directly.”

AGM and Public Meeting
30th June 2008
   

   
   

The 2008 AGM was held on 30th June at Hampstead Town hall. It was followed by a panel discussion on:

"Minority Communities washing their dirty linen in public: sign of  maturity or act of self-destruction?"

Minority communities in the UK have long felt the tension between being open about disagreements within their respective communities and a concern to avoid undue exposure in the public arena.

Is it better for minority communities to show unity to the outside world no matter what the internal conflicts or to air their differences in public?

To discuss this issue JCORE brought together three leading commentators from the Black, Asian and Jewish communities:

 

 
   
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown
(Columnist in 'The Independent' and London's Evening Standard, Broadcaster and Author)

Lester Holloway (Editor of 'New Nation', "Britain's number one best selling black  newspaper")

Brian Klug (Senior research fellow in Philosophy at St. Benet's Hall, Oxford)


   
    The meeting was also presented with our latest annual report:
