Newcastle, South Africa, circa 1950’s
[800/1,200]
Newcastle is the third-largest city in KwaZulu-
Natal, South Africa. It is an industrial city with
a huge native work force. This sign once stood,
mounted to a wooden frame on Newcastle’s
beach. Segregation or “apartheid” is no longer
the law of the land in South Africa. However a
sort of segregation still exists brought about by
the wide economic gulf that exists between
blacks and whites in South Africa.
