EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and historic image from the 1960s, Communist Party candidate Gladys Easton is seen passionately campaigning for change in the London constituency of Battersea North. Standing amidst a group of roadworkers, Easton's presence exudes determination and dedication to her cause. As one of the few women candidates running for office at that time, Easton's boldness in speaking out for the working class and advocating for communist ideals is truly inspiring. Her commitment to fighting for social justice and equality shines through as she engages with those who are often overlooked in society. The backdrop of bustling streets and construction work serves as a poignant reminder of the everyday struggles faced by many during this era. It is evident that Easton's message resonated with these hardworking individuals, as they listen intently to her words. This photo captures a pivotal moment in history when political ideologies clashed and voices were raised in pursuit of a better future. Gladys Easton stands as a symbol of hope and resilience, challenging the status quo and paving the way for progress. As we reflect on this snapshot from decades past, may we remember those like Gladys Easton who fearlessly fought for what they believed in, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire us today.
