EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history. It showcases a group of determined white and coloured students, united in their cause, as they march from the London School of Economics to the Stock Exchange in the City of London. The image is filled with energy as more than 500 students take part in this protest organized by the committee of the London School of Economics Rhodesian Action Group. The placards held high by these passionate individuals proudly display slogans that demand attention. Their purpose? To draw attention to vested interests within the City that were believed to be hindering effective British action on Rhodesia. This protest was an act of defiance against injustice and inequality. Amidst this sea of young men and women, there are glimpses into fashion trends and modes of transportation from the era - motorbikes, motorcycles, and even a sleek Triumph sports car add an element of youthful rebellion to this historic scene. It is important to note that this photograph represents not just a moment captured in time but also serves as a reminder of significant political events such as Zimbabwe's unilateral declaration of independence (UDI) during this tumultuous period. The presence of both black and white students standing together symbolizes unity across racial lines for a common cause. In summary, this print encapsulates both the spirit and determination displayed by these brave protesters who sought justice for Rhodesia while shedding light on societal issues prevalent during 1960s Britain.
