Sharpeville Protest March
Sharpeville Protest March
On 20 March about 100 students marched from the University to the South African Consulate in commemoration of the massacre at Sharpeville in 1960. The march was a peaceful one organized by George Fyson and Owen Hughes of the Socialist Club.
Several hundred pamphlets about the massacre and the policy of the Victoria Socialist Club on Apartheid were distributed, and banners protesting against the All Black South African Tour were carried.
On arrival at the Consulate, member of the Consulate could not be found but several students made speeches. A member of the public who interjected, when invited to speak by the students, refused to do so.
