‘Are we civilized?’ Image of the week, 21st March 2022

The image of the week is a ticket to a talk given by Chapman Cohen in Manchester at a time when he was both President of the National Secular Society and Editor of The Freethinker. Historically, these positions were often occupied by the same person, although the magazine has always been funded independently. ‘Are we civilized?’ was a good question to ask on the eve of World War II – as also today.
