On 1 November 2008, the Institute of Race Relations held a conference, 'Catching history on the wing', in London, to mark the fiftieth anniversary of its formation. We publish here a report on the conference, which included contributions from Lee Bridges, Victoria Brittain, Ruqayyah Collector, David Edgar, Liz Fekete, Arun Kundnani, Herman Ouseley, Colin Prescod, A. Sivanandan and Salma Yaqoob.
