pri14. November campaign, 1964

In November 1964 the AAM launched a campaign calling for the release of political prisoners in South Africa. The campaign began with a poster parade around Trafalgar Square on 31 October, followed by a vigil every Saturday during the month, focusing on a different group of prisoners – students and teachers, churchmen, women and trade unionists. It culminated in a meeting in Central Hall, Westminster on 30 November.
