1. On September 2nd, 1989 in Cape Town, South Africa, Mass Democratic movement supporters marched as an anti-apartheid protest.
2. This particular protest has an interesting identity: not only was it for those who directly affected by the apartheid in South Africa, it was also for those in England who were enabling the situation to progress (I would like to focus on those actually protesting on the streets of Cape Town). This is significant because it is widespread--the power for change was primarily held by people who weren't physically there. This tie is most important to the protesters because their scope is quite wide.
3. The group I'm looking at participated by marching in the protest.
4. My main concerns have to do with identifying and narrowing a definition of those who participated. There doesn't seem to be one type of person, other than South African, participating. I hope I can find a way to identify that specific identity and tie it with the exact protest I'm talking about. I think the most difficult part of this project, for me, will be finding sources and creating an annotated bibliography (since I've never made one before).
