One of the posters in a photographic display set entitled THE STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE IN NAMIBIA AND SOUTHERN RHODESIA (ZIMBABWE) produced by the United Nations Office of Public Information. The poster includes four photographs of the Namib Desert, a line of Africans waiting for a bus in Windhoek, an arial image of a white section of Windhoek, and informal houses in the African township of Katatura. The poster says Namibia is mostly desert and dry scrubland; about one million people live here, roughly ten times as many blacks as whites. Two thirds of the country - the best land for minerals and agriculture - are reserved for whites; the rest is divided into "native reserves" where the majority live. South Africa rules Namibia illegally in defiance of the United Nations. By the late 1960s, all blacks living in Windhoek had been moved out. The black townships are carefully cordoned off ghettos in white areas; thousands of rules and regulations make the blacks' existence precarious. Size: 52x37 centimeters.
