Irish Left Archive: Join the Irish Anti-Apartheid Movement Poster, c.1980s? April 2, 2015
Posted by WorldbyStorm in Irish Left Online Document Archive.trackback
A very welcome addition to the Archive, a poster from the Irish Anti-Apartheid Movement (surprisingly there’s no page for the IAAM on wiki. This page for Kadar Asmal, who was a founder of the IAAM and a founder of the British Anti-Apartheid Movement has some detail on the organisation).
Many thanks to Alan of Irish Election Literature for forwarding this to the Archive.
