Today in 1956 Frances Baard was one of the leaders of the 20 000 strong woman’s march to the Union Buildings.
She was actively involved in 1955 in the drafting on the Freedom Charter and was one of the leaders of the Women’s march to the Union Buildings in Pretoria on 9 August 1956 in protest against the pass laws.
“A pass is this little book you must get when you are 16 and it says where you can work, and where you can be, and if you have got work. You can’t get a job without this book. And you can only get a job where they stamp your pass to say ‘Johannesburg’ or ‘Pretoria’ and so on. You must carry it with you all the time because the police can ask you, ‘Where is your pass?’ any time, and then you must show them. If you haven’t got your pass, they put you in jail for some days or else you must pay some money to get out.” – Frances Baard, in “My Spirit is not Banned”
