80s16. Lobby of Parliament, 21 March 1984

The AAM joined with other organisations to organise this national lobby of Parliament on the anniversary of the massacre at Sharpeville on 21 March 1960. Over 600 lobbyists met their MPs – many of them Conservatives who opposed any anti-apartheid action. At a meeting in the House of Commons Labour, Liberal and Social Democratic Party MPs pledged support for the AAM’s Southern Africa Manifesto.
