Whatever happened to British protest?
For a nation that brought the world Chartism, the Suffragettes, the Tolpuddle Martyrs, and so many other grassroots social movements, Britain rarely celebrates its long, great tradition of people power.
This story and afterword are taken from Protest: Stories of Resistance. In this timely and evocative collection, twenty authors have assembled to re-imagine key moments of British protest, from the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 to the anti-Iraq War demo of 2003. Written in close consultation with historians, sociologists and eyewitnesses - who also contribute afterwords - these stories follow fictional characters caught up in real-life struggles, offering a streetlevel perspective on the noble art of resistance.
His story from Protest, Banner Bright, focuses on the Anti-Vietnam War Demo, and a group of Northern art school students who are making the trip down to London for to take part in the protests. It was written in consultation with Russ Hickman, a left-wing activist who has taken part in a number of protests including the march in 1968 in Grosvenor Square, which is the focus of Alexei's story.
