pro18. 'All Bridges for Whites only'

In 1971 a group of British architects launched a long-running campaign to end links between the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and South Africa. This factsheet supported a resolution put to a RIBA Council meeting in February 1973 calling on RIBA to withdraw recognition from architecture courses at five South African universities. The resolution was signed by over 300 architects, but was rejected by the RIBA Council.
