Cardiff 'Race Riots'

ITV Cymru News, "'One thousand people came rioting down the street': Reliving a notorious chapter in Cardiff’s past." "They were sparked by racial tensions during a period of acute unemployment. In Cardiff’s docklands, servicemen who had returned from war found themselves competing for jobs with a local workforce of largely black and Asian men, who were also desperate to make ends meet."
