CND Demo, Horley, Surrey, c1969 - A Powerful Display of Peaceful Protest
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment in the fight for nuclear disarmament. In the bustling streets of Horley, Surrey, during 1969, protesters from the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) march together with determination and conviction. The CND emerged in 1958 as a response to Britain's agreement to host American atomic weapons on its soil. Prominent figures such as Bertrand Russell, Michael Foot, JB Priestley, and Canon John Collins were among the founders of this influential movement. However, it was during the controversial period surrounding the stationing of cruise missiles at Greenham Common in the 1980s that CND reached its peak popularity with an impressive membership nearing 100,000 individuals. In this image frozen in time from mid-20th century England, men and women alike stand united under banners calling for peace and disarmament. Their placards bear powerful messages advocating against nuclear arms proliferation. Symbolic flags flutter above their heads as they peacefully voice their concerns about global security. Photographer Tony Boxall masterfully captured not only a protest but also a symbol of hope amidst political turmoil. This photograph serves as a reminder that ordinary people can come together to challenge established powers through peaceful means. It is an enduring testament to humanity's unwavering desire for peace even in times overshadowed by fear and uncertainty.
