"Open City" walk in Cape Town to protest against the Group Areas Act

ZA AFRAPIX AP5-19-19.1-19.1.12
Item
1989-06

Part of JULIE FREDERIKSE, Collection of photographs

About 2000 people participated in an 'Open City' walk to indicate their opposition to the Group Areas Act which reserves certain residential areas for different race groups. This participant, with a banner saying "it's my country I will live where I choose to!!", was instructed not to hold his banner because the police had forbidden the display of any banners and posters. He tied the poster to his back so was not 'holding' it.
