Barbara Jacobs explores how Leicester transformed itself from one of the most racist cities in the UK to one of the most tolerant. And Tony Roe reveals the 'thankful villages'.
Nearly 50 years ago, as a student in the 60s, Barbara Jacobs was on the frontline of the war against racism in Leicester. The city had the unenviable reputation as the most racist in the UK. In 1972, the arrival of thousands of Ugandan Asians triggered National Front marches through the streets and an outcry from locals. Inside Out asked Barbara to go back to meet some of those involved and find out how the city transformed itself from one of the most racist to one of the most tolerant places in the UK. Also tonight, Tony Roe is on the trail of the few - exploring the 'thankful villages' which didn't need a war memorial because everyone returned from World War One.
