Life in Southern Africa: blacks crowd onto a double-decker bus clearly marked by race in both English and Afrikaans in South-Africa. In 1976, Chicago Tribune photographer Ernest Cox Jr. and two reporters, Clarence Page and James Yuenger, toured southern Africa to portray in words and images, what life is like for blacks and whites in that tense region. The Chicago Tribune published their reports in seven articles between 20 June and 17 July 1976.
