Tegen apartheid? Steun het ANC

Tegen apartheid? Steun het ANC

The poster features a large cut-out photograph of a young African man who is speaking and holding up his fist. The letters of the title alternate between black on the yellow background and yellow on cut-out shapes of green. A blue border on the left edge and part of the bottom contains additional text. Translation from Dutch to English: The title is “Against Apartheid? Support the ANC” This was the name of a campaign launched by the AABN in September 1986 calling for financial support. Within a few weeks, 150 solidarity groups in schools, hospitals, universities, companies, and city districts had joined in. The organizers explained this success by referring to the opportunity the campaign offered to participants to set their own action against the slackness of European governments. Translation of text: "Thami, 21, a refugee from South Africa: 'We want to liberate our country from apartheid. We resist the tyrants. We fight for a free, democratic and non-racial South Africa. I ask you to support this.”
