EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a group of Welsh hunger marchers in 1934, who embarked on a long and arduous journey from South Wales to London to protest against the Unemployment Insurance Bill. The bill proposed setting dole rates at a national level, rather than allowing local committees to determine them based on individual circumstances.
In the midst of the Great Depression, these brave individuals took to the streets to demand fair treatment and support for those struggling with unemployment. Their determination and resilience shine through in this image, as they walk together in solidarity towards their destination.
The faces of these marchers tell stories of hardship and perseverance, reflecting the struggles faced by so many during this challenging time in history. Despite facing uncertainty and adversity, they stood united in their fight for justice and equality.
As we look back on this momentous event from the 1930s, we are reminded of the power of collective action and standing up for what is right. These Welsh hunger marchers serve as an inspiration for future generations to never give up in the face of injustice, but instead continue marching forward towards positive change.
