Vintage Subway Photos That Will Make You Feel The Rush Of Living In A Different Era
Angels Without Wings, NYC – 1980s
As previously mentioned, Guardian Angels patrolled the subway to ensure that passengers were safe from the bad guys. The non-profit volunteer group was established in February 1979 by Curtis Sliwa in New York. Later on, it expanded to more than 130 cities and 13 countries globally.
Originally, Sliwa founded the organization to fight widespread violence and crime on the subway system of NYC. They initially prepared members to conduct citizen’s arrests for violent offenses. Although the Guardian Angels guard the neighborhoods, they also provide educational programs and workshops for schools and businesses.
