Peace Rally
April 22, 1972

MacArthur Park
Los Angeles

On this day, April 22nd, two Britons, John Fairfax and Sylvia Cook, one year and 8000 miles out of San Francisco, reach Australia in their rowboat (name unknown). They are the first ever to row across the Pacific.

But on this day in MacArthur Park, the voyage of John and Sylvia goes unheralded.
