Michael Randle has been an anti-nuclear activist for decades and is one of the people responsible for putting direct action on the map in Britain – the initial protests he was involved with in the early 1950s received significant press attention. Michael’s involvement with CND came as a member of the Direct Action Committee against Nuclear War (DAC) and its successor, the Committee of 100. Michael was on the organising committee for the first Aldermaston March in Easter 1958. He still has in his possession a copy of the first leaflet issued by the Committee inviting people to join the march. Michael was present in the DAC office when Gerald Holtom came to show his sketches of the symbol he had designed, the now famous CND logo. He says it was adopted on the spot. |
