EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and nostalgic print from circa 1978, we see NUS President Trevor Phillips standing proudly alongside passionate campaigners from the London Boroughs of Harrow and Kingston. They are gathered outside the Education Department in Waterloo, London, where Shirley Williams served as Education Secretary at the time.
The group is united in their cause for better grants and funding for college education, singing a heartfelt song to the tune of Good King Wenceslas. Their voices ring out with determination and hope, echoing through the streets of London as they fight for their rights as students.
Trevor Phillips, later known as a respected writer and broadcaster, stands tall among his fellow activists, embodying the spirit of youthful activism and political engagement that defined the 1970s. The energy and passion radiating from this image serve as a reminder of the power that can be found when individuals come together to advocate for change.
This snapshot captures a moment in time when young people were not afraid to speak up and demand better opportunities for themselves and future generations. It is a testament to the importance of grassroots movements in shaping our society and fighting for social justice.
