Description: | The United Nations Association (U.N.A.) held an exhibition in Charing Cross Underground station in 1953. This exhibition was a hard-hitting display showing the conditions in which children lived around the world: many were in abject poverty. It is one of the few exhibitions held at the station that was not about consumer purchasing power. The displays were powerful because they reached a wide range and vast number of people.
The U.N.A. is an independent organisation that is important in building grass-roots support in Britain for the United Nations. It was set up in 1946 in the aftermath of the Second World War. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Power and Politics Leisure | Temporal: | 31 Dec 1953 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
