The One Birmingham campaign is to be launched on 1 March by the Birmingham Race Action Partnership (B:RAP) in collaboration with the Birmingham Voluntary Youth Sector Network.
It is partly a response to the Lozells riots in October last year (YPN, 26 October-1 November 2005, p2), according to Joy Warmington, chief executive of B:RAP. "By 2020 Birmingham is predicted to become Britain's first Black-majority city," she said. "Although there are many diverse communities here, most of them live parallel lives."
