Anniversary of The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) was founded 60 years ago. In this photograph, US civil rights campaigner Bayard Rustin is addressing a crowd in Trafalgar Square on Easter weekend 1958. They are about to begin the iconic 52-mile march from London to Aldermaston Atomic Weapons Research Establishment.
To commemorate the anniversary, the CND is holding events across the UK, including film screenings and a tour of a sculpture of the CND symbol – the internationally recognized peace sign.
