EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the late 1960s, Tariq Ali (b. 1943, centre), a renowned writer, journalist, and filmmaker, is seen linking arms with other activists and walking along a bustling London street. The bearded man in the white T-shirt, presumably Sid Rawle (1945-2010), affectionately known as the "King of the Hippies," is a prominent figure in the image. Rawle was the founder of the Hyde Park Diggers, a campaigning group advocating for land ownership rights. The scene is filled with a palpable sense of energy and determination as the group, which includes a photographer and a cameraman, march forward. Their faces are set with focus and conviction, their actions a testament to the political activism that characterized the 1960s. The era was marked by a surge in public opinion against established political structures and social norms, with young people taking to the streets to voice their discontent and demand change. Ali, a prominent figure on the political left, was a key figure in the anti-establishment movement. His writings, journalism, and films continue to influence political discourse to this day. The presence of the photographer and cameraman underscores the media's role in documenting and amplifying the voices of the protestors, ensuring that their message reached a wider audience. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in history, when people took to the streets to demand change and challenge the status quo. The activism and determination displayed by Ali and his fellow protestors continue to inspire generations, reminding us of the power of collective action and the importance of speaking out against injustice.
