Description: | May Day is traditionally a day for political and social rallying in central London.
Many hundreds of people gathered in and around Trafalgar Square to demonstrate about political and social issues.
In 1962, the Conservative government had introduced the Commonwealth Immigrants Bill, which greatly restricted the numbers of Commonwealth citizens permitted to enter Britain. It particularly affected unskilled workers from the Caribbean, India and Pakistan.
Protest marches took place accross London against the Bill. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Henry Grant Collection/Museum of London | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Power and Politics | Temporal: | May 1965 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
