Placard reading "Sanction South Africa Now!"

The placard is somewhat larger than an average human torso, white, and rectangular. It is relatively sturdy paper, similar to thick cardstock, with two punched holes, roughly seven inches apart, centered at the top. String threads through both holes and is meant to support the weight of the placard when hung around the neck. There are 4 lines of large black text centered on the placard's front which reads: [SANCTION/SOUTH/AFRICA/NOW!]. "NOW!" also has a bolded underline.
