British journalist, pacifist, author, and politician Edmund Dene Morel, photographed here as a Member of Parliament between 1922 and 1924. Morel campaigned against slavery in the Congo Free State and was one of the founders and later secretary of the Union of Democratic Control. He was elected as a member of the Labour Party to fill one of the Dundee House of Commons seats in 1922. His election helped remove Winston Churchill from parliament. Although the Labour Party gained control of the government in 1924, Morel was disappointed not to receive an appointment to Ramsay MacDonald’s cabinet.
