EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of political activism and social change that defined the 1960s in London. At the heart of the scene is Sid Rawle (1945-2010), nicknamed the 'King of the Hippies,' who is seen on the left, wearing a colorful scarf and cap. Rawle was a prominent figure in the Hyde Park Diggers, a land ownership campaigning group that sought to challenge the established norms of property ownership. The demonstration, which took place in the late 1960s, saw a large crowd of activists gather to voice their opinions and demand change. Rawle, with a determined look on his face, speaks through a loudhailer, amplifying his message to the masses. Behind him, a sea of people, mostly young and passionate, listen intently to his words. The presence of a large number of police officers in uniform, with helmets and shields, underscores the intensity and significance of the protest. The officers stand watchfully, maintaining order and ensuring that the demonstration remains peaceful. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the political activism and social upheaval that characterized the 1960s. It encapsulates the spirit of protest and the determination of individuals to challenge the status quo and bring about change. Sid Rawle and the Hyde Park Diggers were at the forefront of this movement, using peaceful means to challenge the established norms of land ownership and inspire a new generation of activists.
