EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the intense atmosphere of the Cable Street demonstration in London's East End on October 4, 1936. The image shows a large and determined crowd gathered around a tram, their faces set with determination and resolve. Some members of the crowd can be seen giving the Communist clenched fist salute, a symbol of their opposition to fascism and support for working-class rights. The demonstration was organized in response to the proposed march by Sir Oswald Mosley and his British Union of Fascists (BUF) through the predominantly Jewish and working-class neighborhood. The community, which had suffered from rising anti-Semitic and fascist sentiment, saw the march as a direct threat to their safety and livelihoods. Despite the efforts of the police to allow the march to proceed, the crowd refused to let Mosley and his followers pass. The demonstration turned violent, with clashes between the two sides resulting in numerous injuries and arrests. In the end, the police were forced to divert the march, marking a significant victory for the anti-fascist movement in the UK. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the intense political and social tensions that gripped Europe in the 1930s, and the determination of ordinary people to stand up against the threat of fascism. The image also underscores the importance of community solidarity and resistance in the face of hate and intolerance.
