ever necessary. Continued education of youths is forever primary, though since

racism...

Artists Against Racism was
founded not just because it was a 'cool way' to reach out to youth; it exists
because the problem is not diminishing in our society, but becoming more hideous
in different forms. To remain silent is to remain part of the problem, not part
of the solution. We aim to be part of the solution, worldwide. We are all one
people. Let's start to care.
