The Institute of Race Relations (IRR) was established as an independent educational charity in 1958 "to carry out research, publish and collect resources on race relations throughout the world." The mission of the IRR changed in 1972 quite dramatically as it began to focus on responding directly to institutionalized racism in Britain and the rest of Europe. Today, interested parties can look over this website to read the Institute's publications, papers, and check out some of their educational resources. In the Publications area, visitors can find briefing papers such as "Islamophobia, Human Rights and the Terrorist Laws" and "Alternative Voices On Integration." The Educational Resources area contains a number of classroom materials designed to be used by teachers seeking to explain racism to their students or explore the history of black communities in Britain.
