(28 Apr 1979) Anti-Nazi League and the Indian Workers Association march to mourn the loss of Blair Peach and Gurdid Singh. Clement Blair Peach (25 March 1946 - 23 April 1979) was a New Zealand-born teacher who died, allegedly as a result of police brutality, during an anti-racism demonstration in west London. At the time he was teaching at a special needs school in east London, and was an active member of the Socialist Teachers' Association within the National Union of Teachers, and a member of the Socialist Workers' Party. Peach became a campaigner and activist against far right and neo-Nazi organisations. He attended a demonstration held by the Anti-Nazi League outside the town hall in Southall on Monday 23 April 1979, St George's Day, joining 3,000 protesters against a National Front meeting taking place in the town hall that day, in the run-up to the 1979 UK general election. The demonstration was attended by over 2,500 police, and became violent - over 40 people, including 21 police, were injured; 300 were arrested. Peach was knocked unconscious by police in a side street and died the next day in Ealing hospital.
