No Nukes 1982
On June 12, 1982, one million people assembled in New York City for what was likely (up to now) the largest single-city demonstration in American history, a nuclear-freeze protest coming at a saber-rattling peak of the Cold War. While most people have either overlooked that huge event from 40-plus years ago or never heard of it in the first place, I remember the protest because I was there. I went to Central Park with my camera.
Why aren’t people today pushing back against the apocalyptic hellscape of nuclear war?
