1955 - Boycott Clash with Police - Faced with a ban

1955 - Boycott Clash with Police - Faced with a ban on meetings of over 250, Kamya in a car staged huge car processions through Kampala's streets. After nearly three months the incident-packed boycott of non-African shops led by the Uganda National Movement ( UNM) reached a climax in a cash with baton-wielding police. After a meeting under Kampala's'Tree of Liberty addressed by the movement's fiery leaders, suppoters rushed to a nearby bus depot to put the bus boycott in to force by pulling passengers out of their seats. At first sign of violence, police with batons and 200 reserves moved onto the scene. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
