real Newspaper from

No information given
from what

There is no evident
photographer or
source from the
picture.

I chose this source

because I found it
powerful, as a white
person stood up for
her/his brothers and
sisters although they
were black. I found it
interesting that a

risk and potentially
against the law,

also shows how
powerful the black
South Africans were

collaborate with a
black at that time
and place.
