EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the essence of Jimmy Reid, a Scottish trade unionist and activist who dedicated his life to fighting for social justice and equality. In this photograph from the 1970s, we see Reid at the forefront of a street demonstration, holding a banner that reads "Stop US bombing of Vietnam." His impassioned expression and commanding presence speak volumes about his commitment to peace and solidarity.
Reid's legacy as an orator, politician, and journalist is evident in this moment frozen in time. As he stands amidst a diverse crowd of adults and children, it is clear that his message resonates with people from all walks of life. The urban backdrop serves as a stark reminder of the turbulent political climate of the era, with Marks & Spencer shop signs visible in the background.
Through his activism and advocacy work, Reid became a symbol of resistance against injustice and oppression. His tireless efforts to bring about positive change have left an indelible mark on Scotland's history. This print serves as a poignant reminder of his enduring impact on society and inspires us to continue fighting for what we believe in.
