Batlimore, Maryland, United States
Spring 1986
Shanty built on the campus of John Hopkins University as part of a campaign to get the University to divest from companies doing business in South Africa. There was a nighttime firebombing of the shanty in May 1986, after which the University Trustees banned shanties on campus. Shanties were built on many U.S. campuses to symbolize structures black South Africans lived in.
