Anti-Apartheid Poster Collection
The Anti-Apartheid Poster Collection includes posters created by the African National Congress (ANC) and other non-governmental organizations and entities. The posters were created between the mid-1970s and the mid-1990s and cover various aspects of the resistance to the South African system of racial segregation known as apartheid.
The anti-apartheid posters are a subset of the much larger collection of posters from and about Africa held by the IU Libraries.Posters can be consulted in the African Studies Collection office in the Herman B Wells Library, Room E660. Instructors should contact the librarian about using posters in their instruction.
