Sarah Jerauld’s works from the 1980s revisit the struggle for civil rights in America and South Africa during the early 1960s. In particular, she focuses on police violence against peaceful, unarmed protesters in Alabama associated with the Montgomery bus boycott, and apartheid protests in Johannesburg. —NW
