EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a historic moment during an anti-apartheid demonstration outside Lord's cricket ground in 1964. The street is filled with passionate protesters holding up placards that read "they're all white, Jack", "apartheid isn't cricket", and "keep apartheid out of cricket". These brave individuals are standing up against the oppressive system of apartheid in South Africa, demanding equality and freedom for all.
In the midst of the crowd, two police officers keep watch, a stark reminder of the tensions surrounding this important political movement. The atmosphere is charged with emotion as demonstrators make their voices heard through peaceful protest.
The significance of this image lies not only in its depiction of a specific moment in history but also in its representation of the ongoing struggle for justice and human rights. It serves as a reminder that sport can be more than just a game – it can also be a platform for social change and activism.
As we look back on this photograph, we are reminded of the power of collective action and the importance of speaking out against injustice. It stands as a testament to the courage and determination of those who fought against apartheid, both on and off the field.
