Morphology
anti-racism + protest
The meaning is directly compositional: 'anti-' (against) + 'racism' (racial discrimination) combined with 'protest' (a public demonstration) yields 'a demonstration against racism'. This formation is semantically transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent parts would understand the MWE.
Etymology
Anti-racism protest is a public gathering where people come together 'against' unfair treatment because of race. The parts anti-, racism, and protest make a clear image of people in the street showing they oppose racism and want equal rights, so the phrase means a public demonstration for racial equality.
