EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tireless campaigner, Jack Jones, during a momentous speech in Coventry on November 4th, 1981.

In this image, he stands confidently at the podium, delivering his powerful message to an attentive audience. Reflecting on Coventry's history, Jones asserts that despite facing challenges during the 1930s, the city was fortunate compared to other parts of the country. He attributes much of their success to better employment opportunities and suggests that seasonal issues were primarily responsible for any setbacks experienced by local residents.
