EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment in history from 1978 in Lambeth, South London, where graffiti with a social message adorns the streets. The image showcases the political climate of the time, as people protested against issues such as housing, social security, and council policies.
The graffiti serves as a stark reminder of the struggles faced by many families during this era, with references to meths drinking and human hand problems. It reflects the harsh realities of life for those living in South London at that time.
The Greater London Council (GLC) is mentioned in the graffiti, highlighting the role of local government in addressing these pressing social issues. The message on the pavement speaks volumes about the challenges faced by communities in Lambeth during the 1970s.
This photograph is not just a snapshot of street art but a window into history, offering insight into the lives and concerns of people living in South London nearly half a century ago. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far society has come since then while also shedding light on ongoing struggles for social justice and equality.
