EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a historic moment in the 1990s when YTS trainees took to the rooftop of Everton Enterprises in Salisbury Street, Everton, Liverpool. On April 27th, 1992, Mark Kotas, John Cummins, and Derek Lee staged a sit-in protest against the closure of their training center after funding was abruptly withdrawn by the Merseyside Training and Enterprise Council. The image reflects the widespread frustration caused by government cuts that affected housing schemes and youth training programs during this era. These three determined individuals stood up for their rights as they fought against an unjust system that threatened their future prospects. Their defiant stance on that rooftop symbolizes not only their personal struggle but also represents countless others who were impacted by similar circumstances across the country. The photograph serves as a reminder of how vital it is to protect and invest in opportunities for young people to gain valuable skills through proper training initiatives. Martin Birchall's lens captured this pivotal moment with great clarity and emotion. It stands as a testament to the resilience of these trainees who refused to be silenced or overlooked. Their courageous act continues to inspire generations today, reminding us all of our responsibility to support youth empowerment and fight for equal access to education and employment opportunities.
