Their names and prison terms are given beneath each portrait: Billie Nair, 20 years Herman Ja Toivo, 20 years John Hyat Pokela, 13 years Bram Fischer, life A Kathrada, life Indris Naidoo, 10 years Dorothy Nyembe, 15 years Nelson Mandela, life Walter Sisulu, life Denis Goldberg, life Dating of poster is probably early 1970s. See http://africanactivist.msu.edu/image.php?objectid=32-131-348 . One other site dates it in the 1980s - see http://overcomingapartheid.msu.edu/webimage.php?id=65-25B-3 (Both sites visited 18 June 2013). Dorothy Nyembe was sentenced to prison in 1969, so the poster dates from later than that. One of the three copies the Library holds was donated in 1986, so the poster was issued earlier than that. CARE's activities covered the later 1960s to the early 1980s. Billie Nair 1963; Herman Ja Toivo 1960; John Hyat Pokela 1966; Bram Fischer 1963/64; A Kathrada 1964; Indris Naidoo 1963; Dorothy Nyembe 1969; Nelson Mandela 1962/63; Walter Sisulu 1964; Denis Goldberg 1964.
