Sull’opera
Known as Black Wednesday, October 19, 1977, marked a significant moment in the apartheid government’s effort to suppress free speech. On this day, just over a month after Steve Biko, a leader of the Black Consciousness movement, died in police custody, the state used the provisions of the 1974 Publications Act to ban a host of news outlets and arrest and torture journalists. This broadside lists the names of newspapers, writers, and editors who were censored on or following Black Wednesday. The poster’s solemn depiction of gagged journalists evokes the precarious position of the press at that time.
