In this powerful photo print, a student leader stands tall, addressing a massive crowd of approximately 2,000 students outside the iconic "Financial Times" building near St Paul's Cathedral. The image captures the culmination of a torchlight procession that began at the University of London building in Malet Street and ended at the London School of Economics (LSE) in Aldwych and Fleet Street on January 31st, 1969. Armed with a megaphone, the student leader passionately expresses their demands for the reopening of LSE. The atmosphere is charged with energy as students from various education colleges come together to voice their collective discontent through peaceful demonstrations. Their unified presence symbolizes their unwavering commitment to fighting for educational rights. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of an era marked by social activism and youth-led movements.
