Australian Peter Norman stood by their side, wearing an OPHR badge in solidarity. In a heart-wrenching display against President Ngo Dinh Diem's anti-Buddhist measures, Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc set himself ablaze at a Saigon intersection in South Vietnam on June 11, 1963. Malcolm Browne captured this haunting photograph that shook the world. The Jarrow Marchers embarked on their historic journey from Jarrow on October 5th, 1936, demanding relief for unemployment-stricken communities during the Great Depression. Their determination to bring attention to social inequality remains etched in history. A striking mural stands as a testament to loyalist sentiments amidst political turmoil and conflict – reminding us of how art can become an instrument and identity expression. During the Youth Mass Demonstration in Birmingham, Alabama, spring 1963, police brutality was exposed when a young black man faced aggression from a police dog—an image that sparked outrage and fueled the civil rights movement further. Suffragettes took to the streets on May 21st, 1906—boldly advocating for women's right to vote with unwavering determination despite societal resistance—a pivotal moment towards achieving gender equality. John Lennon and Yoko Ono made waves by staging their week-long Bed-In at Amsterdam's Hilton Hotel—a peaceful protest against war and violence—influencing generations with their message of love over hate. Suffragette Parade flooded New York City streets on May 3rd, 1913—women marching unitedly towards progress while facing opposition, paving the way for future victories in the fight for women's suffrage.
