Back Issues: Silent not violent. Anti-apartheid protests in Palmerston North
- Description
Local historians weekly "Back Issues" article in the Manawatū Standard. On 16 June 1980, 15 people with signage worded "Remember Soweto" held a silent vigil in Te Marae o Hine/The Square to protest violent events in South Africa. Whilst the anti-apartheid protests of the early 1980s throughout the country were frequently marred with conflict and violence, protests in Palmerston North were often silent and peaceful.
