VAUGHAN MELZER has been photographing people, political demonstrations and peace and labour movement activities and events a long time, with her photos appearing in the Morning Star and other publications.
She has met a whole number of fascinating individuals, often little-known in the wider world despite having devoted their lives to the struggle for socialism.
Believing that their contribution should be better known and their lives celebrated, she has created a portfolio of photographic portraits over the years, now on display at the Marx Memorial Library in the exhibition Those Who Never Gave Up: Their Hopes of a Socialist World Never Died.
