Pass Laws
- Pass laws controlled the movement and employment of blacks
- They were forced to carry “reference books” of identity papers
Subjunctive Question
Would people have become so ready to protest if they weren't made to sign in?
Summary
As a means of further oppression and segregation, the White government issued the Pass laws, which forced the black citizens to have identity papers in their own country and sign in wherever they went. This "reference book" sparked much outrage in the Black community and for many was the final straw before they decided to fight back.
