This print captures a moment in history at the Morning Star gala in July 1976, where retired Dockers Union leader Jack Dash and communist activist Peter Kerrigan are seen lending a hand at the Morning Star stall. The event, organized by Greenwich Communists, took place at Charlton House and was a gathering of like-minded individuals passionate about socialist ideals. Jack Dash, known for his leadership within the dockworkers' union, stands on the right side of the image with a determined expression on his face. Beside him is Peter Kerrigan, a dedicated communist activist who played a significant role in promoting leftist ideologies during this time period. The atmosphere at the gala is one of camaraderie and solidarity as attendees browse through literature and engage in discussions about political issues. The presence of these two influential figures adds to the gravitas of the event, highlighting their commitment to social justice and equality. This snapshot from 1976 serves as a reminder of an era marked by activism and grassroots organizing. It encapsulates not only a specific moment in time but also reflects the ongoing struggle for workers' rights and progressive change.
