NO ‘BLACK BEAUTY'
Apartheid In SA, Library (N Z-P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) NEW YORK, April 16 One South African library once banned the children's book. “Black Beauty.” before it was realised the book was about a horse. Ghana’s delegate to the United Nations Apartheid Committee claimed today. The delegate. Mr Emmanuel Yawn Agorsor, referred to the “Black Beauty” incident as an example of the extremes to which South Africa went in the censorship of books and films for African consumption.
He claimed that Africans were not allowed to see the films “West Side Story” and -Gone With The Wind" because of dangers felt to be inherent in their plots.
Mr Agorsor said the South African Government was creating “a kind of economic slave State in which Africans will labour out of sight of the whites but for the whites ’ in the Bantu territories.
