The Jarrow March was a significant protest that took place in 1936, organized by unemployed workers from the town of Jarrow in northeast England. The march aimed to draw attention to the high unemployment rates and economic hardship faced by the community during the Great Depression. Participants walked approximately 300 miles to London, carrying a petition to request government assistance for jobs and industry. The marchers, known as the Jarrow Crusaders, faced numerous challenges, including harsh weather and limited resources. Despite these difficulties, their determination highlighted the struggles of many in Britain at the time. The event became a symbol of the fight against unemployment and the need for social reform.
