Anti-Apartheid

This layer was created by members of Bristol Action for Southern Africa in early 2015. It shows significant locations in the history of anti-apartheid activism in the city, from the 1960s to 1994. At its peak in the late-1980s, Bristol Anti-Apartheid was one of the largest groups in the country, with over a thousand members. Bristol Anti-Apartheid activism ranged from protests at sporting events, pickets outside shops and petrol stations to cultural and fund-raising events. The St Paul’s Apartheid-Free zone was a particularly important site of community-based anti-apartheid. Use this map to explore the sites of protest that connected Bristol to one of the most important global movements of the twentieth century
