EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Easter 1983 CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) demonstration at Greenham Common in Berkshire, England. The image showcases a diverse group of protestors, both young and old, gathered together in peaceful protest against nuclear power and the presence of US Cruise missiles at the military base located within the common. The 1980s were a pivotal decade in the history of the anti-nuclear movement in the United Kingdom. Greenham Common, with its encampment of activists, became a symbol of resistance and determination against the threat of nuclear war. The Easter demonstration in 1983 was particularly significant, as it marked the beginning of a series of mass protests that would continue for over a decade. Alan Greely, a well-known peace activist, is seen in the foreground of the photograph, leading the crowd in a passionate call for disarmament. His presence serves as a reminder of the influential figures who galvanized the movement and inspired generations to take a stand against nuclear weapons. The young and old protestors in this photograph embody the unity and determination that characterized the CND movement during the 1980s. Their peaceful demonstration at Greenham Common stands as a testament to the power of grassroots activism and the enduring belief that collective action can bring about change.
