Professor Sam Adelman featured in South African Banned Person’s Memory Project

The South African Banned Persons Memory Project (SABPMP) was initiated to preserve the stories of those silenced under apartheid’s Suppression of Communism Act. Through 179 filmed and recorded interviews; the project documents the lives of formerly banned persons, capturing personal accounts of isolation, resilience, and resistance. These oral histories illuminate how individuals, despite surveillance and hardship, continued to struggle for justice and social transformation.
