Subject: Rural poor, Demonstrations, South Africa--Rural conditions, Apartheid, Political history--South Africa, Beyond the Barricades
Description: A barefoot woman protests against living conditions in rural areas. Her banner reads "We starve in rural areas". Black people often went hungry in the remote "homelands" where they were forced to live, because they were unable to farm the poor, crowded land, and there were few jobs for them to earn sufficient income to feed, clothe, and house their families.
