From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - five thousand Indians protest against colonial rule in Goa, 1955. Twenty-two civilians were killed by Portugese authorities in this peaceful demonstration.
Reason
This was an important event in the history of the Indian state of Goa. It's good to counter systemic bias when possible, and fortunately this newsreel footage was released into the public domain in 1976.
