'I Have A Dream' - Newcastle's anti-racist carnival
Anya Cook introduces Newcastle Unites, celebrating diversity and equality
Newcastle upon Tyne

ON Saturday July 6 Newcastle Unites will be celebrating unity in our community at our second annual Unity Carnival.

The event starts with a walk from the multicultural West End of Newcastle and ends in costume, music, dance, theatre and poetry at Grey’s Monument, renowned symbol of peace and freedom in our city, in a spirit of celebration, solidarity and unity.

Our anti-racist coalition stands for the people of Newcastle. We believe in equality, we value diversity, we see the beauty in difference and we wholeheartedly celebrate the richness of our community.
