The image captures two formidable figures, gang leaders Jerry O'Neil and George McDyer, deep in conversation as they discuss plans for the peace center in Easterhouse. The intensity on their faces speaks volumes about the challenges they faced and the determination they possessed to bring positive change to their community. These young men were not just symbols of a turbulent era; they were catalysts for transformation. The backdrop of this photograph is essential in understanding its significance.

This image serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and conflict, hope can emerge from unexpected places. It showcases how individuals who once perpetuated violence can evolve into agents of change when given an opportunity to redirect their passion towards constructive endeavors.
