Consignment - Right to Wear 

This week in 1969, Sikh busmen in Wolverhampton won the right to wear turbans on duty after a long-running campaign. Abbas and other Magnum photographers illustrate the rise in the wearing of headscarves in France and the debate surrounding the right to wear a symbolic/religious article of clothing.
