March 1963 As Parliament OpenedUp goes a demonstrators

March 1963 As Parliament OpenedUp goes a demonstrators banner at the opening of Southern Rhodesias Parliament to the dismay of the Governor. It was one of the most cunningly timed demonstrations for years. As the Governors car drew up for the opening of the Southern Rhodesian Parliament, up fluttered the protest banners. And the men holding the banners were White. Let by Tom Dawson, the well known local farmer, they were protesting against the so-called Hanging Bill, the proposed amendments to the Law and Order (Maintenance) Act, which suggests a minimum death sentence for many acts for arson or willful damage to property.
