We Won't Move
The slogan 'We Won't Move' appears on a wall in Sophiatown, a suburb of Johannesburg, 1955. In 1955, the Group Areas Act allowed the government to relocate the black inhabitants of Sophiatown to the surrounding countryside, having allocated specific living areas to people of specific races.
