Protesters in Hyde Park London October 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis
Description

I was on an assignment for Farm Journal and staying at a London Hotel during a couple critical days of the Cuban Missle Crisis. I remember walking over to Hyde Park and being fascinated by these peaceful protesters. After finding the Kodachrome slide that I took on Kodachrome with a Fujica, I wondered where thee young folks are today.

I like the concise summary written by students and on thinkquest.org:


"The Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest the world ever came to nuclear war. The United States armed forces were at their highest state of readiness ever and Soviet field commanders in Cuba were prepared to use battlefield nuclear weapons to defend the island if it was invaded. Luckily, thanks to the bravery of two men, President John F. Kennedy and Premier Nikita Khrushchev, war was averted."
