EDITORS COMMENTS
This heartwarming print captures a beautiful moment in history when West Indians organized a festive party for children of all races in the vibrant Notting Hill and North Kensington area. Taken on 23rd December 1958, this Christmas celebration was hosted by the Institute for Group Studies at Holland Park Comprehensive school, Campden Hill. In this joyful gathering, children from different backgrounds come together to celebrate the holiday season. Dressed in their finest attire and adorned with Santa hats, these young ones radiate pure happiness as they enjoy the festivities. The legendary Mr Geo David takes on the role of Father Christmas, spreading cheer and delighting each child with carefully chosen presents. The image showcases the power of unity and inclusivity during a time when racial divisions were prevalent. It serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries or prejudices – it transcends race and brings people together in harmony.

It symbolizes how communities can bridge gaps through shared traditions like Christmas celebrations while fostering understanding among diverse groups.
