EDITORS COMMENTS
It's a far cry from trouble-torn Belfast as children from the province, Roman Catholics and Protestants, swim together in a Hexham pool while on holiday in the area. 14th July 1972. This powerful print captures a moment of unity and joy amidst the backdrop of sectarian conflict that plagued Northern Ireland during the 1970s. In this image, we witness an extraordinary scene where children from both Catholic and Protestant backgrounds come together to enjoy a carefree day at the pool. The innocence and laughter radiating from their faces serve as a poignant reminder that even in times of turmoil, humanity has an innate ability to bridge divides. As they jump into the water with unbridled enthusiasm, these young souls demonstrate that friendship knows no boundaries or religious affiliations. Taken during one fateful summer day in 1972, this snapshot encapsulates hope for peace and harmony within Northern Ireland. It serves as a testament to the resilience of its people - especially its youngest members - who refuse to let hatred define their lives. Decades later, this photograph continues to inspire us all by reminding us of our shared humanity. It is not just about swimming pools or leisure activities; it symbolizes our collective desire for understanding and acceptance across cultures and religions. As we reflect upon this image captured by NCJ Archive's lens, may it serve as a timeless reminder that unity can prevail over division if we choose love over hate.
