EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures a moment of defiance and determination in the face of political change. In 1971, at a school in Woolwich, south east London, teachers were distributing milk to children despite the discontinuation of free school milk. The young students are seen eagerly receiving their pints of milk from their teachers, with smiles on their faces.
In the background, a group of men can be seen standing on steps and railings, overseeing the distribution process. This act of solidarity between teachers and students symbolizes resistance against planned cuts to education funding and essential resources for children.
The photograph evokes a sense of history and nostalgia from the 1970s era. It serves as a reminder of the importance of access to nutritious food for all children, regardless of political decisions made at higher levels.
This snapshot in time encapsulates the spirit of community and resilience within this school in Woolwich during a challenging period. The image is not just about distributing milk; it's about standing up for what is right and ensuring that every child has access to basic necessities for their well-being and education.
