EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and historic image, we see Peter Hain, the British Labour politician and staunch anti-apartheid activist, leading a protest outside a branch of Barclays Bank in Putney, London in 1977. At the time, Barclays was investing in South African bonds and had subsidiaries in apartheid-era South Africa.
Hain's commitment to social justice is evident as he stands alongside fellow protesters holding placards and picketing the bank. The determination on his face reflects his unwavering dedication to fighting against racial segregation and injustice.
As a key figure in the anti-apartheid movement, Hain used his platform as a politician to raise awareness about the atrocities being committed in South Africa. His actions helped put pressure on companies like Barclays to divest from the oppressive regime.
This photo captures a pivotal moment in history when individuals like Peter Hain took a stand against institutionalized racism and discrimination. It serves as a reminder of the power of activism and solidarity in bringing about positive change.
The image not only showcases Hain's leadership but also highlights the collective efforts of all those who joined him that day to demand accountability from corporations complicit in supporting apartheid policies.
