THEY TRIED PUTTING A COLOUR BAN ON HARVESTS

This is Amelia King. She was refused work on the land because of her colour.

Colour doesn't prevent her father and brother fighting in the Merchant Navy.

Press and public clamour exposed this shameful treatment of a Stepney-born girl.

THAT IS ONE CASE, HERE IS ANOTHER.

Leary [SIC: Learie] Constantine, well-known broadcaster and sportsman, turned out of the Imperial Hotel.

Why? Because of his colour.

Coloured folk can die fighting for us, can help destroy Fascism, can help preserve our freedom, but they are not allowed to gather in the harvest or stay at certain hotels.

How long is this vicious discrimination to continue?

That depends on YOU. Depends on whether you are prepared to add YOUR protest to the growing demand that racial discrimination be ended for ever.
