EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photograph captured by Charles Ley, we witness a historic moment as disabled and blind men and women gather together to take their plea for better pay to the House of Commons. The image showcases the determination and resilience of these individuals who refuse to let their disabilities define them. Organized by DIG (Disablement Income Group), this petition symbolizes the collective voice of those often marginalized in society. Their cause is championed by MPs like Jack Ashley from Stoke on Trent South, whose presence in the photo signifies his commitment towards advocating for equal rights and opportunities for disabled individuals. At the center of attention sits Rosalie Wilkins, confined to a wheelchair but radiating strength and conviction. Her unwavering spirit serves as an inspiration not only to her fellow activists but also to anyone facing adversity. Taken on November 14th, 1972, during a time when disability rights were still being fought for, this photograph encapsulates an era marked by progress and change. It reminds us that political engagement can be a catalyst for social transformation. Charles Ley's skillful composition captures both the determination etched on each face present while emphasizing unity among diverse backgrounds. This poignant snapshot serves as a reminder that disability should never hinder one's ability to fight for justice or demand fair treatment in employment. This print stands as a testament to how far we have come in recognizing the value and potential within every individual, regardless of physical limitations.
