Description: The Africa Fund, a non-profit 501(c)3 organizations, was founded in 1966 by the American Committee on Africa (ACOA). The Africa Fund and ACOA shared office space and some staff (including the Executive Director), and there was some overlap between the boards of the two organizations. The Executive Directors were: George M. Houser (1966-1981), Jennifer Davis (1981-2000) and Salih Booker (2000-2001). The Africa Fund worked to support the struggles against colonialism and apartheid in Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, Namibia, Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) and South Africa. The Africa Fund provided material assistance to the education and health programs of African liberation movements, including the Mozambique Institute, a FRELIMO-run school in Tanzania. The Africa Fund distributed the money raised by the Sun City album, including sending $220,000 to the Solomon Mahlangu Freedom College (SOMAFCO) run by the African National Congress (ANC) in Tanzania; $160,000 to the South African Council of Churches to aid political prisoners and their families; and $119,000 each to TransAfrica and the ACOA for anti-apartheid educational work in the United States. The Fund also provided clothing, medicine, and other support to refugee camps run by liberation movements of South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Western Sahara in Angola, Mozambique, Zambia and Algeria. It provided small emergency assistant grants to African refugees in the U.S., and conducted research into U.S. corporate involvement in southern Africa. It published numerous publications that were widely used by other solidarity organizations in the U.S., from short fact sheets to a comprehensive directory of U.S. corporations doing business in apartheid South Africa and illegally occupied Namibia. The Africa Fund sponsored a weekly half hour television news program "South Africa Now" produced by Globalvision from 1988 to 1991. The Africa Fund conducted public education campaigns in the U.S., including the "Unlock Apartheid's Jails" campaign for the release of detainees and political prisoners in South Africa. In the 1990s, The Africa Fund had an active program supporting the struggle against the dictatorship in Nigeria. Following the end of apartheid, the Fund had a program to promote the involvement of state and municipal officials with U.S. policy toward Africa, including campaigning for the cancellation of Africa's debt. In 2001, The Africa Fund, ACOA and the Washington, DC-based Africa Policy Information Center merged to form Africa Action and somewhat later the New York office was closed. Donated by The Africa Fund.

Description: Records of the Africa Groups' Recruitment Organisation (Afrikagruppernas Rekryteringsorganisation) (ARO). The archives contain extensive correspondence, primarily with solidarity workers but also authorities in various aid countries. There is also material from seminars on solidarity work and minutes and accounts of the organizations' operations as well as material from various projects and campaigns along with courses and seminars. The ARO archives comprise in principle the years 1978 to 1992. Some archival series may have a starting year before 1978 and some may expand beyond 1992. This is due to the fact that some projects, even though they had their main activities some time between 1978 and 1992, could have started or ended before this period.

Description: The African American Students Foundation (AASF) was founded in 1959. In April 1959, prior to Kenyan independence, trade unionist Tom Mboya visited the U.S. at the invitation of the American Committee on Africa; Mboya talked on many college campuses and was given scholarships from many colleges. The AASF was set up to raise money and bring students from East Africa to the U.S. to use these scholarships. Although based in New York, AASF had a national focus. Baseball star Jackie Robinson and performers Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier led the initial fundraising. AASF raised an initial $39,000 and as a result organized the first of several "airlifts" of East African students, mostly from Kenya, to the U.S. in September 1959. In 1960 the Joseph P. Kennedy Foundation gave $100,000 to AASF. As a result in 1960 three planes were chartered bringing 222 students from east and central Africa. The archive includes photographs. Cora Weiss was Executive Director and student adviser. This collection forms part of the African Activist Archive collections. Archive deposited by Cora Weiss.

Description: In 1943 Trevor Huddleston was sent to the diocese of Johannesburg in South Africa as Priest-in-Charge of the Community's Sophiatown and Orlando Anglican Missions. In 1949 Huddleston was appointed Provincial of the Community of the Resurrection in South Africa and Superintendent of St. Peter's School (the church school). In South Africa Huddleston became active in the struggle against apartheid. He campaigned against the forced removal of the black community from Sophiatown and decided to close St. Peter's School rather than hand it over to government control following the passing of the Bantu Education Act. In 1956 he was recalled to England. He addressed the founding meeting of the Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM) in June 1959. In 1960 Huddleston returned to Africa when he was appointed Bishop of Masasi in Tanganyika. He was transferred back to England in 1968 to serve as Suffragan Bishop of Stepney in London. The following year he was elected Vice-President of the AAM. In 1978 Huddleston was appointed Bishop of Mauritius and, shortly later, Archbishop of the Indian Ocean. In 1981 he was elected President of the AAM. He retired to England two years later (1983). Although retired, Huddleston continued to support many organizations and groups. This included serving as President of the AAM (1981-94) and Chairman of the International Defence and Aid Fund for Southern Africa (1983-98). Correspondence and papers relating to Huddleston's work, the organizations in which he was involved, and his friends and colleagues. Included are sermons, speeches, photographs, audio-visual material and newspaper cuttings.

Description: Barbara Bach first worked as a Boston area schoolteacher and creator of television documentaries. After receiving a Master's degree in Education in 1969, she became an Ann Arbor, Mich. businesswoman, networking facilitator, fundraiser, and lifelong educator/mentor to individuals and organizations. The collection includes business records, association newsletters, campaign literature, photographs, and correspondence representing her multiple careers as an entrepreneur, legislative aide, community activist, and executive director in a policy environment promoting economic development in Michigan. From 1979 to 1983, she worked as a legislative aide to Perry Bullard, then the State Representative from Ann Arbor. Bach's personal lobbying efforts and her persuasive writing skills helped to win passage of Bullard's legislative initiatives, including the bill he introduced to boycott South Africa in protest of that nation's apartheid policy. During her work for Perry Bullard she went by the name Barbara Eldersveld. (During the mid-1970s, she was married to Samuel J. Eldersveld, Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan and former Democratic Mayor of Ann Arbor, 1957-1959. She remained Barbara Eldersveld until re-adopting her maiden name, Barbara Bach, in 1992.) The collection was received from Barbara Bach in 2011.

Description: The Campaign to Oppose Bank Loans to South Africa (COBLSA) was formed in 1977 as the Committee to Oppose Bank Loans to South Africa. The committee was initially organized and sponsored by the American Committee on Africa and the Clergy and Laity Concerned (CALC), but become an independent organization soon after.

COLBSA's purpose was to link the efforts of national and local anti-apartheid groups, churches, unions, university and colleges, and community groups in pressuring United States banks to end all loans to the South African government, its agencies, and corporations doing business there. COLBSA was initially located in the New York office of ACOA and then relocated to Washington, D.C. During Carole Collins' tenure as national coordinator (1981-circa 1983) COLBSA was permanently removed from ACOA’s offices. Individuals coordinating the work included Prexy Nesbitt (1977-1979), Dumisani Kumalo (1979-1981), and Carole Collins (1981-1983). Donated by Carole Collins.

Description: Most of the records document the organization's involvement in the fight against apartheid in South Africa, while a smaller amount details its struggle against police abuse in Albany, New York and around the United States. Due to the chronological organization of most records, references to topics are scattered throughout the collection. CD-CAAR records consist of correspondence, police and court documents, fliers, announcements of meetings, newsletters, pamphlets, handouts, a few minutes from steering committee meetings, and newspaper clippings. Most of the newspaper clippings, and many of the police and court documents are photocopies of the original papers, therefore the quality of the microfilm image may be inconsistent. Includes records documenting CD-CAAR's campaign to isolate the apartheid South African government by picketing and boycotting entertainers who performed in South Africa (1982-), as well as those referring to CD-CAAR's participation in picketing state and federal buildings in an effort to block investment in South Africa (1985-) are located in the Coalition Activities series. The records also document CD-CAAR's interest in the "frontline states" of Namibia, Mozambique and Angola beginning circa 1984 are scattered throughout the collection.

Bud Day was Peace Education Secretary, American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) in Chicago (1976-1977) and in Pasadena, CA (1977-1978). After moving to Los Angeles in 1981 they founded the Southern Africa Research Project (SARP) in response to the need for dissemination of materials about Southern Africa in Southern California. SARP's focus was on providing resources and thus it only staged events in coalition with other anti-apartheid organizations in Los Angeles. The archive includes material on the Southern Africa Support Committee (SASC), funded in the early 1970s by people associated with the Black Panthers, which became the most consistent and enduring liberation support group in Los Angeles (see separate organization description). SASC was one of the organizations that SARP worked with and supplied information to. The archives includes material on campaigns, many involving SASC including against Del Monte for fishing in Namibia waters, the attempt of South Africa to open a consulate in Los Angeles, and the Krugerrand. There were also campaigns in sport of the sports and cultural boycott including South African participation in the Davis Cup tennis tournament in Newport Beach and U.S. artists performing in South Africa. This collection forms part of the African Activist Archive collections. Collection donated by Carol Thompson. (Source: Carol Thompson)

Description: Gay J. McDougall South Africa and Namibia Papers and the records of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law Southern Africa Project. McDougall served as the Director of the Southern Africa Project for 14 years and was the only American to be appointed to the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC). The McDougall papers contain unique documentation of the activities and decisions of the IEC from the perspective of a member of the Commission and reveal a day-by-day detailed picture of the challenges confronted by the Commission in mounting South Africa’s first democratic elections. The papers document a pivotal period between 1980-1994 when Ms. McDougall and lawyers in South Africa and Namibia collaborated on the defense of and gained the release of thousands of political prisoners and detainees imprisoned during the struggle against apartheid in South Africa and Namibia. Among the papers is a collection of nearly 100 files on the trials of the political activists supported by the Southern Africa Project including non-confidential communications between McDougall and the lawyers representing those activists. Additionally, the papers document Ms. McDougall's role in the United States-based anti-apartheid movement and the international networking that took place among activists, including efforts to influence U.S. foreign policy. Other key events and topics reflected in the collections include the establishment of the Commission on Independence for Namibia, and the development of judicial and constitutional norms, institutions, and legislation during the post-apartheid transitional period.

Description: The Avel L. Gordly collection represents the record of public service of Oregon's first African American woman state senator, documenting her activities mainly between the years 1992 and 2008. After working for community-based organizations like the Urban League and the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), Gordly was appointed to a seat in the state legislature in 1992 to fill a vacancy. She was subsequently re-elected and in 1996, ran successfully for the senate, where she served until her retirement. Born and raised in Portland, Gordly graduated from Portland State University in 1974. Her Africa connections began in college, when she traveled to Nigeria with Crossroads Africa's student exchange program. In the 1980s, her work with the AFSC focused on their Southern Africa Program, especially anti-apartheid activism locally, nationally, and internationally. As an elected official, she worked to foster connections with post-apartheid South Africa and in 1997, lead an official trade delegation to the region. She has visited seventeen African nations, most recently Ghana. The collection's Africa materials range across these varied interest areas and include correspondence, speeches, legislative research, news clippings, and photographs. Much of this material is grouped together in Box 4 under "Africa" but they are also sprinkled throughout the collection under relevant headings, like bills. Avel Gordly donated the archives jointly to two Portland State University bodies: Branford P. Millar Library and Black Studies Department.

She was arrested and given a deportation order in March 1957 with thirty days to clear up her affairs. The ANC gave Hooper a letter of commendation signed by Luthuli and Tambo. After being forced to leave South Africa, Hooper returned to the United States and worked at the American Committee on Africa (ACOA) both in its office in New York and but mostly as the organization's West Cost representative. She was a member of the ANC's delegation to the All Africa People's Conference in Accra in December 1958 - no members of the ANC based inside South Africa were able to attend, as the government refused to let them travel outside the country. She also attended the All-African Peoples Conferences held in Tunis (1960) and Cairo (1961). Her work at ACOA included raising money for political prisoners for the Africa Defense and Aid Fund, arranging public meetings for African leaders, public speaking, helping African students in the U.S. and other countries, organizing the Declaration of American Artists Against Apartheid statement "We Say 'No' to Apartheid" opposing cultural contacts, signed by 65 well known performers, and editing a newsletter, South African Bulletin (later renamed Southern Africa Bulletin). She co-coordinated the Committee of Conscience Against Apartheid, initiated by the ACOA and the University Christian Movement, which campaigned against the financial support to apartheid given by two of the largest New York banks - Chase Manhattan and First National City. She traveled in 24 African countries and was acquainted with numerous African leaders. Included in the archives are original letters from Moses Kotane in Dar-Es-Salaam, Oliver Tambo, Alfred Hutchison, Zeke Mphahlele, M.P. Naicker, and many from Albert Luthuli in Groutville. The archive also includes letters from Joshua Nkomo of Zimbabwe and Tom Mboya of Kenya. (Note: Additional archival material related to Mary-Louise Hooper is in the archives of the ACOA at the Amistad Research Center, Tulane University.) This collection forms part of the African Activist Archive collections. Donated by Mary-Louise Hooper's daughter Sue Cogley.

Description: Impact Visuals was a New York City-based cooperative photo agency dedicated to social documentary photography. Founded by Michael Kaufman, Impact Visuals operated for 15 years until shutting down in 2001. Photographs, slides and negatives primarily of South Africa and the anti-apartheid movement. Most of the images in this collection were obtained when Impact Visuals acquired defunct South African cooperative Afrapix's material. Afrapix was a collective, self-funded group of freelance photographers in South Africa operating between 1982-1992. A few additional images came from Southlight Photographic Agency. The collection consists of photographs, slides, and negatives, as well as a limited amount of supporting materials and publications. The vast majority of the material relates to South Africa. Other African nations include Namibia, Rwanda and Zaire (Congo). South Africa's first interracial elections in April 1994 are particularly well represented in the collection, as are the African National Congress (ANC), Nelson Mandela and Winnie Mandela, and National Party President F.W. De Klerk. Subjects other than politics include the environment, labor, economics, health, poverty, and cultural life. Abdul Shariff, one of the photographers who worked for Afrapix and later Impact Visuals, was killed while documenting an ANC event in January 1994. Shariff's curriculum vitae, contract with Impact Visuals, and correspondence with fellow photographer Ansell Horn document the working relationships of a South African photographer.

Description: The collection consists of materials from the years 1913 through 1998 that document African American author and activist Amiri Baraka and were gathered by Dr. Komozi Woodard in the course of his research. The collection has been arranged into eighteen series. Series IX is about the African Liberation Support Committee, 1973-1976. In 1971, Owusu Sadaukai (Howard Fuller) traveled to Africa where he observed the anti-colonial movements in Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, and Angola. Upon his return to the United States, Sadaukai began to make plans for an African Liberation Day (ALD) demonstration that was designed to show worldwide support for the African liberation struggles. Amidst the planning for the first ALD in 1972, the African Liberation Support Committee (ALSC) was formed. This series of ALSC materials contains the ALSC statement of principles, an article on Tanzanian socialism by Walter Rodney, a CAP position paper on ALSC, and a handbook on African Liberation Month that includes a brief history of the ALSC. Several documents in this series provide evidence of a serious ideological struggle within the organization. These documents include a paper by ALSC international chairperson Dawolu Gene Locke, a paper by Abdul Hakimu lbn Alkalimat and Nelson Johnson discussing the ALSC statement of principles adopted at a 1973 meeting in Frogmore, South Carolina, and position papers from several ALSC branches about the future direction of the organization.

Description: The Namibia Support Committee started in 1969 as the Friends of Namibia in order to support Namibian liberation movements and assist individual liberation activists. In 1971, when the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) had been recognized as the 'sole and authentic representative' of the Namibian people, it became a solidarity group to assist SWAPO. It was recognized by the UN Council for Namibia and was renamed the Namibia Support Committee. The Committee aimed to raise public awareness of the country's particular problems and was active in organizing meetings, lobbying Parliament, etc, while in its solidarity function it arranged the transport of supplies to SWAPO's camps in Angola and Zambia. Much of its work was supervised by its sub-groups, including the Health Collective, Campaign Against Namibian Uranium Contracts and the SWAPO Women's Solidarity Campaign. Originally based in London, the Committee built itself into a national campaign from 1986 with a network of local Namibia Support Groups. It became a registered company in 1990 (the same year that Namibia gained its independence from South Africa) and was wound up in 1993. It has since been revived as a friendship society between Britain and Namibia under the titles Friends of Namibia Society and Friends of Namibia (Scotland).

Description: Collection includes material relating to the Council on African Affairs (CAA), 1944 - 1955. Paul Robeson, one of the preeminent figures in 20th century U.S. history, was an athlete, actor, singer and linguist as well as a Pan-African and progressive activist on many fronts. He was one of the founders and served as chairman of the Council on African Affairs. In the 1930s and 1940s he was probably one of the most widely known and respected Americans of any race around the world. After he was targeted for government repression in the McCarthy period, his name recognition was reduced and his influence marginalized. But his legacy is now being rediscovered by scholars and public interest is again rising, as reflected by the recent postage stamp in his honor. The collection of material referenced here, related to the CAA, is part of a large collection of Paul Robeson material. The material on the CAA consists of correspondence, reports, resolutions, press releases and clippings. Correspondents in this sub-series include: Lord Halifax, British ambassador to Washington (1944); Edward Stettinius, chairman of the United States delegation to the United Nations on the subject of colonial trusteeship, then under consideration in regard to the United Nations charter; the Natal Indian Congress in South Africa, founded by Mahatma Gandhi in 1894; Oliver Tambo, General Secretary of the African National Congress in South Africa (1954), and Mrs. Funmi Ransome Kuti, a Nigerian political activist and mother of the Afro-beat band leader Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Also included are two different drafts of Robeson's message to the Asian-African Conference in Bandung (Indonesia) in 1955 and related correspondence.

Ruth First Papers

Location of Activities: United Kingdom

Time Period of Collection: 1889-1991 [predominantly 1946-1982]

Description: Ruth First was an anti-apartheid activist, investigative journalist, and scholar.

Description: Ruth First was an anti-apartheid activist, investigative journalist, and scholar. First worked her entire life to end apartheid in South Africa; writing in 1969, she explained how her life was dedicated ‘to the liberation of Africa for I count myself an African, and there is no cause I hold dearer’. First was an influential figure who saw activism, solidarity work (for the anti-apartheid struggle) and her research and writing as inextricably linked. She was exiled from South Africa in 1964, with her husband, prominent South African communist Joe Slovo, and their children.  Heloise Ruth First was born on May 4, 1925 in Johannesburg, the daughter of Julius and Matilda ('Tilly') First, Jewish emigrants to South Africa from the Baltic states. Her parents were members of the International Socialist League and founding members of the South African Communist Party (SACP). While at the University of Witwatersrand, she helped found the left-wing Federation of Progressive Students and also served as secretary of the Young Communist League and Progressive Youth Council. In 1946 she produced pamphlets in aid of the miners' strike and was temporarily secretary of the Johannesburg offices of the South African Communist Party. In 1947 she and Michael Scott exposed a farm labor scandal in Bethal, Eastern Transvaal. Between 1946-1952 she was the Johannesburg editor of the weekly newspaper the Guardian, the mouthpiece of the SACP, which was banned and restarted under a different name several times (titled Clarion, People's World, Advance, New Age and Spark). Between 1954-1963 she was also the editor of Fighting Talk, a Johannesburg based monthly. In 1949 Ruth First married Joe Slovo. They had three daughters, Shawn (b.1950), Gillian (b.1952) and Robyn (b.1953). In 1950, First was named under the Suppression of Communism Act and her movements restricted. In 1953 she was banned from membership of all political organizations, although in 1955 she helped draw up the Freedom Charter and was later a member of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the military wing of the African National Congress (ANC). In December 1956, she and Joe Slovo were among the 156 people charged in the so-called Treason Trial; her indictment was dismissed in April 1959. In August 1963 she was arrested and detained for a total of 117 days under the 90-Day Law. Effectively forced into exile, she and her daughters moved to the United Kingdom, where she worked full-time as a freelance writer before becoming a Research Fellow at the University of Manchester in 1972. Between 1973-1978 she lectured in development studies at the University of Durham, although she spent periods of secondment at universities in Dar es Salaam and Lourenco Marques (Maputo). In November 1978 she became Director of the research training program at the University Eduardo Mondlane in Maputo. On August 17, 1982, while working in Mozambique, Ruth First was killed when she opened a parcel bomb addressed to her at the above university sent by the South African secret service. Some items have been digitized and are available on the catalog website. Also see this link for more information on the Ruth First papers.

Description: Mario Marcel Salas was born in San Antonio, Texas on July 30, 1949. Salas became an advocate for San Antonio's African-American community in the early 1970s and was a key member of local activist groups such as the San Antonio chapter of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Organizations United for Eastside Development, Black Coalition on Mass Media, and Frontline 2000. He was elected to the City Council of San Antonio in 1997, where he served two full terms as Representative for District 2. In addition, he was involved with political issues relating to social justice and human rights struggles world-wide. In particular, Salas supported the Anti-Apartheid movement in South Africa and through the San Antonio Committee Against Mercenary Recruitment (1977-1978), opposed the recruitment of Americans as mercenaries in the revolutionary war in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia). Organizations represented in the collection include the African Liberation Support Committee (both national and in San Antonio), National Anti-Imperialist Movement in Solidarity with African Liberation, San Antonio Movement in Solidarity with African Liberation (1978-1979) and the Texas Committee on African and World Affairs. The Topics and Events subseries encompasses local and global aspects of the human rights struggle and includes information on domestic African-American civil rights issues as well as revolutionary and progressive political movements abroad. The plight of political prisoners was of particular interest to Salas and the collection profiles activists wrongly imprisoned in the U.S. and African countries. U.S. groups like the Wilmington 10, the Houston 12, and South African prisoners such as Nelson Mandela, are represented by newsletters, bulletins and news clippings. The topics series also contains news clippings, bulletins and fliers related to the Vietnam War and political unrest in countries such as Grenada, Namibia and South Africa. This series additionally incorporates materials - boycott posters, liberation pamphlets and news clippings - highlighting the struggle against Apartheid and the subsequent boycotting of the Krugerrand coins of South Africa. The archive includes a folder on the Conference in Solidarity with the Liberation Struggles of the Peoples of Southern Africa (1981-1982). Materials were donated by Mario Marcel Salas in 2003 and 2006.

Description: During the 1960s, Herbert Shore (1922-2004) was invited to develop theater programs at several African universities. His work led to close associations with prominent writers and revolutionary leaders. His most enduring connection was with Eduardo Mondlane (Oberlin Class of 1953), founding president of Frente de Libertacao de Mocambique (FRELIMO). With the help of Mrs. Janet Mondlane and others, Shore collected material relating to Mondlane's life. Eventually Shore donated these materials to the Oberlin College Archives. For his work on behalf of Mozambique, Shore was honored with the Bagamoyo Medal in 1989. He was an honorary member of the African National Congress. Subgroup II consists of the material collected by Herbert Shore relating to Eduardo Mondlane, Mozambique, and Africa. The most significant resource on Eduardo Mondlane in this subgroup is the microfilm in Series 6. This set of microfilm, done in 1996, contains correspondence (primarily post 1962) and writings of Janet and Eduardo Mondlane. Also included is material (1950-1989) including correspondence, publications, and interviews concerning the Mondlanes, FRELIMO, and the Mozambique Institute. Correspondents include George Houser, Herbert Shore, Africa Today editor Edward A. Hawley (who studied at the Oberlin Graduate School of Theology), Oberlin Professor George Simpson, and FRELIMO leaders Uria Simango and Marcellino Dos Santos. Each of the seven microfilm reels includes an inventory of its contents, and paper copies of the inventory are also in this series.

Description: The collection consists of ca. 2600 videotapes and selected paper files relating to the production of the television program, South Africa Now. The collection consists of videotapes and a small number of transcripts, log books, and publicity files relating to the television program South Africa Now, produced by Globalvision from 1988 to 1991. South Africa Now was produced in cooperation with The Africa Fund, which served as fiscal sponsor and provided guidance on African political issues. The collection includes a nearly complete run of tapes of the ca. 150 newscasts produced during the three year run of the program as well as ca. 2000 tapes of interviews, short reports, documentaries, stock footage, and other footage used in the program's production. The collection includes visual documentation of the final years of apartheid in South Africa and includes interviews with and other significant footage of anti-apartheid leaders, including Nelson Mandela, Winnie Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Walter Sisulu, Albertina Sisulu, Albie Sachs, Joe Slovo, Thabo Mbeki, Allan Boesak, Oliver Tambo, Beyers Naude, and many others. It also documents the activities of the South African government and its leaders, particularly P.W. Botha and F. W. DeKlerk. Many organizations also receive extensive coverage, such as the African National Congress (ANC), the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), and the South-West African Peoples Organization (SWAPO). Many editions of the program included the segment "Frontline Focus," which reported the news in the southern African states of Angola, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. South Africa Now produced at least one cultural segment per show. The collection, therefore, contains footage of South African artists, playwrights, musicians, authors, and filmmakers, including Athol Fugard, Hugh Masakela, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Mzwakhe Mbuli, Johnny Klegg, Gcina Mhlopher, Peter Magubane, and Nadine Gordimer. Finally, the collection documents the activities of the international anti-apartheid movement that put political and economic pressure on South Africa to end the system of apartheid. Globalvision was co-founded by award-winning journalists Rory O'Connor and Danny Schechter.

Description: Most records are from 1985-1988. Includes information on South African non-Parliamentary opposition groups and U.S. and other anti-apartheid organizations. The collection documents the apartheid system in South Africa and the different stages of the liberation struggle which was instrumental in bringing about the decline of the system. The collection consists of printed materials such as newsclippings, publications, reports, press releases, newsletters, pamphlets and newspapers of the South African government, parliamentary parties, non-parliamentary groups such as the African National Congress, and American and other foreign groups. Arranged in nine series and additions: I. South African Government, 1961-1991. II. South African Parliamentary Parties, 1961-1991. III. Non-Parliamentary/Opposition/ Resistance Groups, 1961-1991. IV. South African Institutes and Foundations, 1966-1991. V American Government Policy Towards South Africa, 1974-1988. VI. Disinvestment/ Divestment, 1978-1987. VII. American Anti-Apartheid Pressure Groups, 1972-1991. VIII. International Pressure Groups, 1963-1991. IX. Posters and Printed Materials, 1970-1990. Series VI, DISINVESTMENT/DIVESTMENT, includes newsletters and reports of American organizations and institutions which have not only publicly opposed apartheid, but have also developed schemes to improve the welfare of black South Africans. One of the most effective strategies was to withdraw investments from South Africa. Hence, this series is a source for the divestment/disinvestment issue and its effectiveness as a strategy for change in the country. Many universities, especially Yale and Stanford, were at the forefront of this campaign. Additional material on this strategy can be found in Series IX. Series VII, AMERICAN ANTI-APARTHEID ORGANIZATIONS, is a fairly large series which focuses on the role of numerous American groups in removing racial oppression in South Africa. Through their newsletters, publications and campaigns, these organizations aimed not only to bring to the attention of the American people the plight of the oppressed, but also to design strategies to build the momentum for legislative action against South Africa. Of particular importance are the files of The Africa Fund, American Committee on Africa, Episcopal Church People for a Free Southern Africa, and the Washington Office on Africa. Through their work these groups were successful in providing medical, financial, and moral assistance to black South Africans and in ultimately influencing American corporate and government policy towards South Africa. Their publications, reports, and newsletters are a good source for information on the violence that was perpetrated in South Africa, especially in Natal. Series VIII, INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE GROUPS, contains material which focuses on the pressure exerted by non-American groups and their respective government on South Africa to bring an end to apartheid. Although most of these groups are based in Europe, the work of the British anti-apartheid organizations dominates these series.

Description: The collection documents the work of the Southern Africa Liberation Committee (SALC), a highly successful community organization working at Michigan State University and in the Lansing, Michigan area from 1973 through 1997. The collection details SALC's educational and social action campaigns, including the East Lansing Selective Buying Resolution (1977), the campaigns for the divestiture of Michigan State University (1978) and the MSU Foundation (1986), the three sanctions bills by the State of Michigan Legislature (on banking loans to South Africa and divestiture by the higher education institutions of Michigan and by the State of Michigan Pension Fund, 1982-86), and the "McGoff Off" campaign to remove the McGoff name from the MSU Wharton Center (1979-84). Particularly extensive newspaper clippings collected by Frank and Patricia Beeman from the national and local press describe conditions in Southern Africa and the SALC activities in response to those conditions. The books in this collection address the issues surrounding apartheid and resistance to it. The use of graphic arts to support these political and liberation activities is well illustrated by the numerous posters, protest buttons, and T-shirts produced both by SALC and by international organizations supporting the liberation of Southern Africa. This collection forms part of the African Activist Archive collections. Archive deposited by Harris F. "Frank" Beeman.

The archive documents his activities as a political activist on behalf of liberation movements in Southern Africa and East Timor, as an independent filmmaker and television producer, and as the Permanent Representative of Vanuatu at the United Nations.

He founded the Mozambique Film Project and traveled to Africa in 1971 and produced his first film on the struggle for independence in Mozambique, A Luta Continua based on footage shot inside the liberated areas. A second film, O Povo Organizado, was completed in 1976 after Mozambique’s independence. As co-producer of "Like It Is," a weekly black television new and documentary program, he produced several documentaries, including an analysis of the United Nations and a conference on Southern Africa.

Description: The papers of Carla Weitzel (1953-2000), a sociology graduate student at the University of Missouri-Columbia, consist of newspaper clippings, magazine articles, correspondence, posters, pamphlets, photographs, and miscellaneous materials. The materials document civil rights issues, particularly the anti-apartheid and divestment movement that occurred on the University of Missouri-Columbia campus during the mid-1980s. While a graduate student, Weitzel became one of the primary leaders in the divestment movement on campus. The divestment movement at the University of Missouri began in April 1978, when Doug Liljegren, Missouri Student Association president, wrote a letter to the board of curators notifying them that the University had investments in 54 companies which were doing business in South Africa. A month later a rally was held to persuade the curators to pull their investments out of South Africa. The University of Missouri Divestment Movement series is arranged by type of material and chronologically therein. The series consists of papers from various student groups, faculty groups, and University administrators and focus primarily on the University's financial investments, the issue of divestment, and the shantytown. Several student groups, including the Shantytown Activists and the Missouri Students Association, joined together in the divestment cause and succeeded in forcing the University to withdraw its investments from companies associated with apartheid in South Africa. Included in the series is a list of the articles written about the shantytown that were published in The Maneater. Also included are notes from organizational meetings regarding the construction of the shantytown. The posters and fliers included in this series primarily advertise shantytown and anti-apartheid demonstrations held on the campus during 1986 and 1987. In 1987, Weitzel was invited to speak about the shantytown and divestment movement before a special committee on apartheid at the United Nations. Her speech and general information about the hearing are included in this series. The collection also includes material of a number of organizations including the American Committee on Africa, DC Student Coalition Against Apartheid and Racism, Episcopal Churchpeople for a Free Southern Africa, Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, John Hopkins University Coalition for a Free South Africa, Kansas City Anti-Apartheid Network, Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, National Mobilization for Justice & Peace in Central America & Southern Africa, St. Louis Coalition Against Apartheid, South African Military Refugee Aid Fund, and the Washington Office on Africa.

Description: The William X. Scheinman papers consist primarily of correspondence and printed matter that reflect Scheinman's lifelong interest in African politics, particularly with respect to Kenya. Having met the Kenyan independence leader, Tom Mboya, in 1956, Scheinman was to identify himself with African causes, even while working as a businessman and investment adviser on Wall Street. An important part of the collection consists of Scheinman's extensive correspondence with Tom Mboya. This exchange of letters, which was conducted from 1957 until Mboya's assassination in 1969, provides significant information concerning the Kenyan independence movement and its leading personalities, as well as documenting the first five years of the Kenyatta administration, in which Mboya served as Minister of Justice. In addition, the collection includes numerous speeches and writings by Mboya (see Tom Mboya File). As one of the directors of the African-American Students Foundation, Scheinman was also involved in a program that enabled African students to attend American colleges and universities. Numerous records of this foundation are contained in the collection (see African-American Students Foundation File). Includes correspondence with, writings by, and interviews of, Mboya. Includes correspondence with people and organizations in the United States including the American Committee on Africa; George M. Houser; Belafonte; Frank Montero; Thurgood Marshall; Martin Luther King Jr.; and Peter and Cora Weiss. Includes recordings of Mboya, Kenneth Kaunda, Kwame Nkrumah, and Julius Nyerere.

Description: The collection contains personal papers of Frances E. Williams from 1965 to 1995 relating to her professional career as an actress, personal/cultural interests, community involvements, and to a larger extent her political activism. As a political activist, she was one of the first black women to run for the California State Assembly in 1948 on the Progressive Party ticket. The bulk of the material covers the years between 1975 and 1986 when Williams was active in the anti-apartheid and communist solidarity movements taking place in the greater Los Angeles area. Series 9 (1975-1989) of the collection covers her anti-apartheid activism. This series well documents Williams' involvement in the South African anti-apartheid movement, especially as it pertains to activities taking place in Los Angeles. The materials document great efforts made to prevent the building of the South African Consulate in Century City/Los Angeles through petitions, rallies, and meetings. As the chairperson of National Anti-Imperialist Movement on Solidarity with African Liberation (NAIMSAL), Los Angeles Office, Williams was in close correspondence with the American Committee on Africa and the Washington Office on Africa, uniting their efforts to fight against apartheid in South Africa and elsewhere in Africa. She was a co-founder of Art Against Apartheid. She also represented the World Peace Council at the first Angola Independence Celebration in 1975 and co-founded the Art Against Apartheid Movement in Los Angeles. Although Williams' attendance at the international conferences cannot be determined, the section on Conferences includes comprehensive reports from the a series conferences. Materials suggest that Williams was peripherally involved in efforts to fight for equality in sports and humanitarian aid for African children. The flyers, mailings, and publications primarily consist of announcements of events, rallies, and protests in support of the anti-apartheid movements taking place in area. The bulk of the newspaper clippings from the late 1970s are on Angola's fight for independence and the clippings from 1980s are mostly on anti-apartheid protests, South Africa, and Nelson Mandela.

Description: The Africa Fund, a non-profit 501(c)3 organizations, was founded in 1966 by the American Committee on Africa (ACOA). The Africa Fund and ACOA shared office space and some staff (including the Executive Director), and there was some overlap between the boards of the two organizations. The Executive Directors were: George M. Houser (1966-1981), Jennifer Davis (1981-2000) and Salih Booker (2000-2001). The Africa Fund worked to support the struggles against colonialism and apartheid in Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, Namibia, Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) and South Africa. The Africa Fund provided material assistance to the education and health programs of African liberation movements, including the Mozambique Institute, a FRELIMO-run school in Tanzania. The Africa Fund distributed the money raised by the Sun City album, including sending $220,000 to the Solomon Mahlangu Freedom College (SOMAFCO) run by the African National Congress (ANC) in Tanzania; $160,000 to the South African Council of Churches to aid political prisoners and their families; and $119,000 each to TransAfrica and the ACOA for anti-apartheid educational work in the United States. The Fund also provided clothing, medicine, and other support to refugee camps run by liberation movements of South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Western Sahara in Angola, Mozambique, Zambia and Algeria. It provided small emergency assistant grants to African refugees in the U.S., and conducted research into U.S. corporate involvement in southern Africa. It published numerous publications that were widely used by other solidarity organizations in the U.S., from short fact sheets to a comprehensive directory of U.S. corporations doing business in apartheid South Africa and illegally occupied Namibia. The Africa Fund sponsored a weekly half hour television news program "South Africa Now" produced by Globalvision from 1988 to 1991. The Africa Fund conducted public education campaigns in the U.S., including the "Unlock Apartheid's Jails" campaign for the release of detainees and political prisoners in South Africa. In the 1990s, The Africa Fund had an active program supporting the struggle against the dictatorship in Nigeria. Following the end of apartheid, the Fund had a program to promote the involvement of state and municipal officials with U.S. policy toward Africa, including campaigning for the cancellation of Africa's debt. In 2001, The Africa Fund, ACOA and the Washington, DC-based Africa Policy Information Center merged to form Africa Action and somewhat later the New York office was closed. Donated by The Africa Fund.

Description: The collection consists of materials from the years 1913 through 1998 that document African American author and activist Amiri Baraka and were gathered by Dr. Komozi Woodard in the course of his research. The collection has been arranged into eighteen series. Series IX is about the African Liberation Support Committee, 1973-1976. In 1971, Owusu Sadaukai (Howard Fuller) traveled to Africa where he observed the anti-colonial movements in Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, and Angola. Upon his return to the United States, Sadaukai began to make plans for an African Liberation Day (ALD) demonstration that was designed to show worldwide support for the African liberation struggles. Amidst the planning for the first ALD in 1972, the African Liberation Support Committee (ALSC) was formed. This series of ALSC materials contains the ALSC statement of principles, an article on Tanzanian socialism by Walter Rodney, a CAP position paper on ALSC, and a handbook on African Liberation Month that includes a brief history of the ALSC. Several documents in this series provide evidence of a serious ideological struggle within the organization. These documents include a paper by ALSC international chairperson Dawolu Gene Locke, a paper by Abdul Hakimu lbn Alkalimat and Nelson Johnson discussing the ALSC statement of principles adopted at a 1973 meeting in Frogmore, South Carolina, and position papers from several ALSC branches about the future direction of the organization.

Description: Gay J. McDougall South Africa and Namibia Papers and the records of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law Southern Africa Project. McDougall served as the Director of the Southern Africa Project for 14 years and was the only American to be appointed to the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC). The McDougall papers contain unique documentation of the activities and decisions of the IEC from the perspective of a member of the Commission and reveal a day-by-day detailed picture of the challenges confronted by the Commission in mounting South Africa’s first democratic elections. The papers document a pivotal period between 1980-1994 when Ms. McDougall and lawyers in South Africa and Namibia collaborated on the defense of and gained the release of thousands of political prisoners and detainees imprisoned during the struggle against apartheid in South Africa and Namibia. Among the papers is a collection of nearly 100 files on the trials of the political activists supported by the Southern Africa Project including non-confidential communications between McDougall and the lawyers representing those activists. Additionally, the papers document Ms. McDougall's role in the United States-based anti-apartheid movement and the international networking that took place among activists, including efforts to influence U.S. foreign policy. Other key events and topics reflected in the collections include the establishment of the Commission on Independence for Namibia, and the development of judicial and constitutional norms, institutions, and legislation during the post-apartheid transitional period.

Description: The William X. Scheinman papers consist primarily of correspondence and printed matter that reflect Scheinman's lifelong interest in African politics, particularly with respect to Kenya. Having met the Kenyan independence leader, Tom Mboya, in 1956, Scheinman was to identify himself with African causes, even while working as a businessman and investment adviser on Wall Street. An important part of the collection consists of Scheinman's extensive correspondence with Tom Mboya. This exchange of letters, which was conducted from 1957 until Mboya's assassination in 1969, provides significant information concerning the Kenyan independence movement and its leading personalities, as well as documenting the first five years of the Kenyatta administration, in which Mboya served as Minister of Justice.

Description: The African American Students Foundation (AASF) was founded in 1959. In April 1959, prior to Kenyan independence, trade unionist Tom Mboya visited the U.S. at the invitation of the American Committee on Africa; Mboya talked on many college campuses and was given scholarships from many colleges. The AASF was set up to raise money and bring students from East Africa to the U.S. to use these scholarships. Although based in New York, AASF had a national focus. Baseball star Jackie Robinson and performers Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier led the initial fundraising. AASF raised an initial $39,000 and as a result organized the first of several "airlifts" of East African students, mostly from Kenya, to the U.S. in September 1959. In 1960 the Joseph P. Kennedy Foundation gave $100,000 to AASF. As a result in 1960 three planes were chartered bringing 222 students from east and central Africa. The archive includes photographs. Cora Weiss was Executive Director and student adviser. This collection forms part of the African Activist Archive collections. Archive deposited by Cora Weiss.

Description: The archive of Carol Thompson and Warren "Bud" Day reflects their activities in support of Southern Africa liberation in the United States and Africa. Their solidarity activity which began when Day, campus minister at Michigan State University (MSU), and Thompson, a political science doctoral candidate and MSU, founded the Southern Africa Liberation Committee (SALC) in 1972. They were involved in the founded of Concerned Americans in Southern Africa (CASA) when they lived in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania from late 1977 to mid-1980. This involvement with CASA continued when the lived in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1985-1986 and in1992-1993 plus four other time in shorter periods ranging from two to six months. During their time in Zimbabwe, Carol was based at the University of Zimbabwe and her research and writing addressed the whole Southern African region (Southern Africa Development Community). Bud worked in water and sanitation and was country director of Oxfam America (1985-1986) and of International Voluntary Services (1992-1993) while in Harare. Bud Day was Peace Education Secretary, American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) in Chicago (1976-1977) and in Pasadena, CA (1977-1978). After moving to Los Angeles in 1981 they founded the Southern Africa Research Project (SARP) in response to the need for dissemination of materials about Southern Africa in Southern California. SARP's focus was on providing resources and thus it only staged events in coalition with other anti-apartheid organizations in Los Angeles. The archive includes material on the Southern Africa Support Committee (SASC), funded in the early 1970s by people associated with the Black Panthers, which became the most consistent and enduring liberation support group in Los Angeles (see separate organization description). SASC was one of the organizations that SARP worked with and supplied information to. The archives includes material on campaigns, many involving SASC including against Del Monte for fishing in Namibia waters, the attempt of South Africa to open a consulate in Los Angeles, and the Krugerrand. There were also campaigns in sport of the sports and cultural boycott including South African participation in the Davis Cup tennis tournament in Newport Beach and U.S. artists performing in South Africa. This collection forms part of the African Activist Archive collections. Collection donated by Carol Thompson. (Source: Carol Thompson)

Description: Mary-Louise Hooper was an American, a Quaker and a graduate of Stanford University. In 1956 Mary-Louise Hooper went to South Africa on a group tour and met Chief Albert Luthuli (also spelled Lutuli) and other leaders of the African National Congress (ANC). She became deeply committed to the anti-apartheid cause and she immigrated to South Africa later that year and bought a home in Durban. She worked for two years as an assistant to Luthuli. She was arrested and given a deportation order in March 1957 with thirty days to clear up her affairs. The ANC gave Hooper a letter of commendation signed by Luthuli and Tambo. After being forced to leave South Africa, Hooper returned to the United States and worked at the American Committee on Africa (ACOA) both in its office in New York and but mostly as the organization's West Cost representative. She was a member of the ANC's delegation to the All Africa People's Conference in Accra in December 1958 - no members of the ANC based inside South Africa were able to attend, as the government refused to let them travel outside the country. She also attended the All-African Peoples Conferences held in Tunis (1960) and Cairo (1961). Her work at ACOA included raising money for political prisoners for the Africa Defense and Aid Fund, arranging public meetings for African leaders, public speaking, helping African students in the U.S. and other countries, organizing the Declaration of American Artists Against Apartheid statement "We Say 'No' to Apartheid" opposing cultural contacts, signed by 65 well known performers, and editing a newsletter, South African Bulletin (later renamed Southern Africa Bulletin). She co-coordinated the Committee of Conscience Against Apartheid, initiated by the ACOA and the University Christian Movement, which campaigned against the financial support to apartheid given by two of the largest New York banks - Chase Manhattan and First National City. She traveled in 24 African countries and was acquainted with numerous African leaders. Included in the archives are original letters from Moses Kotane in Dar-Es-Salaam, Oliver Tambo, Alfred Hutchison, Zeke Mphahlele, M.P. Naicker, and many from Albert Luthuli in Groutville. The archive also includes letters from Joshua Nkomo of Zimbabwe and Tom Mboya of Kenya. (Note: Additional archival material related to Mary-Louise Hooper is in the archives of the ACOA at the Amistad Research Center, Tulane University.) This collection forms part of the African Activist Archive collections. Donated by Mary-Louise Hooper's daughter Sue Cogley.

Description: The collection documents the work of the Southern Africa Liberation Committee (SALC), a highly successful community organization working at Michigan State University and in the Lansing, Michigan area from 1973 through 1997. The collection details SALC's educational and social action campaigns, including the East Lansing Selective Buying Resolution (1977), the campaigns for the divestiture of Michigan State University (1978) and the MSU Foundation (1986), the three sanctions bills by the State of Michigan Legislature (on banking loans to South Africa and divestiture by the higher education institutions of Michigan and by the State of Michigan Pension Fund, 1982-86), and the "McGoff Off" campaign to remove the McGoff name from the MSU Wharton Center (1979-84). Particularly extensive newspaper clippings collected by Frank and Patricia Beeman from the national and local press describe conditions in Southern Africa and the SALC activities in response to those conditions. The books in this collection address the issues surrounding apartheid and resistance to it.

With the help of Mrs. Janet Mondlane and others, Shore collected material relating to Mondlane's life. Eventually Shore donated these materials to the Oberlin College Archives. For his work on behalf of Mozambique, Shore was honored with the Bagamoyo Medal in 1989. He was an honorary member of the African National Congress. Subgroup II consists of the material collected by Herbert Shore relating to Eduardo Mondlane, Mozambique, and Africa. The most significant resource on Eduardo Mondlane in this subgroup is the microfilm in Series 6. This set of microfilm, done in 1996, contains correspondence (primarily post 1962) and writings of Janet and Eduardo Mondlane. Also included is material (1950-1989) including correspondence, publications, and interviews concerning the Mondlanes, FRELIMO, and the Mozambique Institute. Correspondents include George Houser, Herbert Shore, Africa Today editor Edward A. Hawley (who studied at the Oberlin Graduate School of Theology), Oberlin Professor George Simpson, and FRELIMO leaders Uria Simango and Marcellino Dos Santos. Each of the seven microfilm reels includes an inventory of its contents, and paper copies of the inventory are also in this series. Includes material related to the Mozambique Education Fund; on the Catalog/Finding Aid click on Inventory (bottom left) and then on Inventory 1.

Description: The Avel L. Gordly collection represents the record of public service of Oregon's first African American woman state senator, documenting her activities mainly between the years 1992 and 2008. After working for community-based organizations like the Urban League and the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), Gordly was appointed to a seat in the state legislature in 1992 to fill a vacancy. She was subsequently re-elected and in 1996, ran successfully for the senate, where she served until her retirement. Born and raised in Portland, Gordly graduated from Portland State University in 1974. Her Africa connections began in college, when she traveled to Nigeria with Crossroads Africa's student exchange program. In the 1980s, her work with the AFSC focused on their Southern Africa Program, especially anti-apartheid activism locally, nationally, and internationally. As an elected official, she worked to foster connections with post-apartheid South Africa and in 1997, lead an official trade delegation to the region. She has visited seventeen African nations, most recently Ghana. The collection's Africa materials range across these varied interest areas and include correspondence, speeches, legislative research, news clippings, and photographs. Much of this material is grouped together in Box 4 under "Africa" but they are also sprinkled throughout the collection under relevant headings, like bills. Avel Gordly donated the archives jointly to two Portland State University bodies: Branford P. Millar Library and Black Studies Department.

Description: Collection includes material relating to the Council on African Affairs (CAA), 1944 - 1955. Paul Robeson, one of the preeminent figures in 20th century U.S. history, was an athlete, actor, singer and linguist as well as a Pan-African and progressive activist on many fronts. He was one of the founders and served as chairman of the Council on African Affairs. In the 1930s and 1940s he was probably one of the most widely known and respected Americans of any race around the world. After he was targeted for government repression in the McCarthy period, his name recognition was reduced and his influence marginalized. But his legacy is now being rediscovered by scholars and public interest is again rising, as reflected by the recent postage stamp in his honor. The collection of material referenced here, related to the CAA, is part of a large collection of Paul Robeson material. The material on the CAA consists of correspondence, reports, resolutions, press releases and clippings. Correspondents in this sub-series include: Lord Halifax, British ambassador to Washington (1944); Edward Stettinius, chairman of the United States delegation to the United Nations on the subject of colonial trusteeship, then under consideration in regard to the United Nations charter; the Natal Indian Congress in South Africa, founded by Mahatma Gandhi in 1894; Oliver Tambo, General Secretary of the African National Congress in South Africa (1954), and Mrs. Funmi Ransome Kuti, a Nigerian political activist and mother of the Afro-beat band leader Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Also included are two different drafts of Robeson's message to the Asian-African Conference in Bandung (Indonesia) in 1955 and related correspondence.

Description: The collection contains personal papers of Frances E. Williams from 1965 to 1995 relating to her professional career as an actress, personal/cultural interests, community involvements, and to a larger extent her political activism. As a political activist, she was one of the first black women to run for the California State Assembly in 1948 on the Progressive Party ticket. The bulk of the material covers the years between 1975 and 1986 when Williams was active in the anti-apartheid and communist solidarity movements taking place in the greater Los Angeles area. Series 9 (1975-1989) of the collection covers her anti-apartheid activism. This series well documents Williams' involvement in the South African anti-apartheid movement, especially as it pertains to activities taking place in Los Angeles. The materials document great efforts made to prevent the building of the South African Consulate in Century City/Los Angeles through petitions, rallies, and meetings. As the chairperson of National Anti-Imperialist Movement on Solidarity with African Liberation (NAIMSAL), Los Angeles Office, Williams was in close correspondence with the American Committee on Africa and the Washington Office on Africa, uniting their efforts to fight against apartheid in South Africa and elsewhere in Africa. She was a co-founder of Art Against Apartheid. She also represented the World Peace Council at the first Angola Independence Celebration in 1975 and co-founded the Art Against Apartheid Movement in Los Angeles. Although Williams' attendance at the international conferences cannot be determined, the section on Conferences includes comprehensive reports from the a series conferences. Materials suggest that Williams was peripherally involved in efforts to fight for equality in sports and humanitarian aid for African children. The flyers, mailings, and publications primarily consist of announcements of events, rallies, and protests in support of the anti-apartheid movements taking place in area. The bulk of the newspaper clippings from the late 1970s are on Angola's fight for independence and the clippings from 1980s are mostly on anti-apartheid protests, South Africa, and Nelson Mandela.

Description: Impact Visuals was a New York City-based cooperative photo agency dedicated to social documentary photography. Founded by Michael Kaufman, Impact Visuals operated for 15 years until shutting down in 2001. Photographs, slides and negatives primarily of South Africa and the anti-apartheid movement. Most of the images in this collection were obtained when Impact Visuals acquired defunct South African cooperative Afrapix's material. Afrapix was a collective, self-funded group of freelance photographers in South Africa operating between 1982-1992. A few additional images came from Southlight Photographic Agency. The collection consists of photographs, slides, and negatives, as well as a limited amount of supporting materials and publications. The vast majority of the material relates to South Africa. Other African nations include Namibia, Rwanda and Zaire (Congo). South Africa's first interracial elections in April 1994 are particularly well represented in the collection, as are the African National Congress (ANC), Nelson Mandela and Winnie Mandela, and National Party President F.W. De Klerk. Subjects other than politics include the environment, labor, economics, health, poverty, and cultural life. Abdul Shariff, one of the photographers who worked for Afrapix and later Impact Visuals, was killed while documenting an ANC event in January 1994. Shariff's curriculum vitae, contract with Impact Visuals, and correspondence with fellow photographer Ansell Horn document the working relationships of a South African photographer.

Description: Ruth First was an anti-apartheid activist, investigative journalist, and scholar. First worked her entire life to end apartheid in South Africa; writing in 1969, she explained how her life was dedicated ‘to the liberation of Africa for I count myself an African, and there is no cause I hold dearer’. First was an influential figure who saw activism, solidarity work (for the anti-apartheid struggle) and her research and writing as inextricably linked. She was exiled from South Africa in 1964, with her husband, prominent South African communist Joe Slovo, and their children.  Heloise Ruth First was born on May 4, 1925 in Johannesburg, the daughter of Julius and Matilda ('Tilly') First, Jewish emigrants to South Africa from the Baltic states. Her parents were members of the International Socialist League and founding members of the South African Communist Party (SACP). While at the University of Witwatersrand, she helped found the left-wing Federation of Progressive Students and also served as secretary of the Young Communist League and Progressive Youth Council. In 1946 she produced pamphlets in aid of the miners' strike and was temporarily secretary of the Johannesburg offices of the South African Communist Party. In 1947 she and Michael Scott exposed a farm labor scandal in Bethal, Eastern Transvaal. Between 1946-1952 she was the Johannesburg editor of the weekly newspaper the Guardian, the mouthpiece of the SACP, which was banned and restarted under a different name several times (titled Clarion, People's World, Advance, New Age and Spark). Between 1954-1963 she was also the editor of Fighting Talk, a Johannesburg based monthly. In 1949 Ruth First married Joe Slovo. They had three daughters, Shawn (b.1950), Gillian (b.1952) and Robyn (b.1953). In 1950, First was named under the Suppression of Communism Act and her movements restricted. In 1953 she was banned from membership of all political organizations, although in 1955 she helped draw up the Freedom Charter and was later a member of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the military wing of the African National Congress (ANC). In December 1956, she and Joe Slovo were among the 156 people charged in the so-called Treason Trial; her indictment was dismissed in April 1959. In August 1963 she was arrested and detained for a total of 117 days under the 90-Day Law. Effectively forced into exile, she and her daughters moved to the United Kingdom, where she worked full-time as a freelance writer before becoming a Research Fellow at the University of Manchester in 1972. Between 1973-1978 she lectured in development studies at the University of Durham, although she spent periods of secondment at universities in Dar es Salaam and Lourenco Marques (Maputo). In November 1978 she became Director of the research training program at the University Eduardo Mondlane in Maputo. On August 17, 1982, while working in Mozambique, Ruth First was killed when she opened a parcel bomb addressed to her at the above university sent by the South African secret service. Some items have been digitized and are available on the catalog website. Also see this link for more information on the Ruth First papers.

Description: Barbara Bach first worked as a Boston area schoolteacher and creator of television documentaries.

The collection includes business records, association newsletters, campaign literature, photographs, and correspondence representing her multiple careers as an entrepreneur, legislative aide, community activist, and executive director in a policy environment promoting economic development in Michigan.

Bach's personal lobbying efforts and her persuasive writing skills helped to win passage of Bullard's legislative initiatives, including the bill he introduced to boycott South Africa in protest of that nation's apartheid policy. During her work for Perry Bullard she went by the name Barbara Eldersveld. (During the mid-1970s, she was married to Samuel J. Eldersveld, Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan and former Democratic Mayor of Ann Arbor, 1957-1959. She remained Barbara Eldersveld until re-adopting her maiden name, Barbara Bach, in 1992.) The collection was received from Barbara Bach in 2011.

Description: The papers of Carla Weitzel (1953-2000), a sociology graduate student at the University of Missouri-Columbia, consist of newspaper clippings, magazine articles, correspondence, posters, pamphlets, photographs, and miscellaneous materials. The materials document civil rights issues, particularly the anti-apartheid and divestment movement that occurred on the University of Missouri-Columbia campus during the mid-1980s. While a graduate student, Weitzel became one of the primary leaders in the divestment movement on campus. The divestment movement at the University of Missouri began in April 1978, when Doug Liljegren, Missouri Student Association president, wrote a letter to the board of curators notifying them that the University had investments in 54 companies which were doing business in South Africa. A month later a rally was held to persuade the curators to pull their investments out of South Africa. The University of Missouri Divestment Movement series is arranged by type of material and chronologically therein. The series consists of papers from various student groups, faculty groups, and University administrators and focus primarily on the University's financial investments, the issue of divestment, and the shantytown. Several student groups, including the Shantytown Activists and the Missouri Students Association, joined together in the divestment cause and succeeded in forcing the University to withdraw its investments from companies associated with apartheid in South Africa. Included in the series is a list of the articles written about the shantytown that were published in The Maneater. Also included are notes from organizational meetings regarding the construction of the shantytown. The posters and fliers included in this series primarily advertise shantytown and anti-apartheid demonstrations held on the campus during 1986 and 1987. In 1987, Weitzel was invited to speak about the shantytown and divestment movement before a special committee on apartheid at the United Nations. Her speech and general information about the hearing are included in this series. The collection also includes material of a number of organizations including the American Committee on Africa, DC Student Coalition Against Apartheid and Racism, Episcopal Churchpeople for a Free Southern Africa, Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, John Hopkins University Coalition for a Free South Africa, Kansas City Anti-Apartheid Network, Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, National Mobilization for Justice & Peace in Central America & Southern Africa, St. Louis Coalition Against Apartheid, South African Military Refugee Aid Fund, and the Washington Office on Africa.

Description: Archive of the Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM) and predecessor material including the Boycott Movement. The final meeting of the AAM Executive Committee decided to establish an AAM Archives Committee to support the cataloging of the Movement's archives.

Further sections contain posters, photographs, audio-visual material, exhibition material, artwork and objects.

Description: In 1943 Trevor Huddleston was sent to the diocese of Johannesburg in South Africa as Priest-in-Charge of the Community's Sophiatown and Orlando Anglican Missions. In 1949 Huddleston was appointed Provincial of the Community of the Resurrection in South Africa and Superintendent of St. Peter's School (the church school). In South Africa Huddleston became active in the struggle against apartheid. He campaigned against the forced removal of the black community from Sophiatown and decided to close St. Peter's School rather than hand it over to government control following the passing of the Bantu Education Act. In 1956 he was recalled to England. He addressed the founding meeting of the Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM) in June 1959. In 1960 Huddleston returned to Africa when he was appointed Bishop of Masasi in Tanganyika. He was transferred back to England in 1968 to serve as Suffragan Bishop of Stepney in London. The following year he was elected Vice-President of the AAM. In 1978 Huddleston was appointed Bishop of Mauritius and, shortly later, Archbishop of the Indian Ocean. In 1981 he was elected President of the AAM. He retired to England two years later (1983). Although retired, Huddleston continued to support many organizations and groups. This included serving as President of the AAM (1981-94) and Chairman of the International Defence and Aid Fund for Southern Africa (1983-98). Correspondence and papers relating to Huddleston's work, the organizations in which he was involved, and his friends and colleagues. Included are sermons, speeches, photographs, audio-visual material and newspaper cuttings.

Description: The Namibia Support Committee started in 1969 as the Friends of Namibia in order to support Namibian liberation movements and assist individual liberation activists. In 1971, when the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) had been recognized as the 'sole and authentic representative' of the Namibian people, it became a solidarity group to assist SWAPO. It was recognized by the UN Council for Namibia and was renamed the Namibia Support Committee. The Committee aimed to raise public awareness of the country's particular problems and was active in organizing meetings, lobbying Parliament, etc, while in its solidarity function it arranged the transport of supplies to SWAPO's camps in Angola and Zambia. Much of its work was supervised by its sub-groups, including the Health Collective, Campaign Against Namibian Uranium Contracts and the SWAPO Women's Solidarity Campaign. Originally based in London, the Committee built itself into a national campaign from 1986 with a network of local Namibia Support Groups. It became a registered company in 1990 (the same year that Namibia gained its independence from South Africa) and was wound up in 1993. It has since been revived as a friendship society between Britain and Namibia under the titles Friends of Namibia Society and Friends of Namibia (Scotland).

Description: Mario Marcel Salas was born in San Antonio, Texas on July 30, 1949. Salas became an advocate for San Antonio's African-American community in the early 1970s and was a key member of local activist groups such as the San Antonio chapter of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Organizations United for Eastside Development, Black Coalition on Mass Media, and Frontline 2000. He was elected to the City Council of San Antonio in 1997, where he served two full terms as Representative for District 2. In addition, he was involved with political issues relating to social justice and human rights struggles world-wide. In particular, Salas supported the Anti-Apartheid movement in South Africa and through the San Antonio Committee Against Mercenary Recruitment (1977-1978), opposed the recruitment of Americans as mercenaries in the revolutionary war in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia). Organizations represented in the collection include the African Liberation Support Committee (both national and in San Antonio), National Anti-Imperialist Movement in Solidarity with African Liberation, San Antonio Movement in Solidarity with African Liberation (1978-1979) and the Texas Committee on African and World Affairs. The Topics and Events subseries encompasses local and global aspects of the human rights struggle and includes information on domestic African-American civil rights issues as well as revolutionary and progressive political movements abroad. The plight of political prisoners was of particular interest to Salas and the collection profiles activists wrongly imprisoned in the U.S. and African countries. U.S. groups like the Wilmington 10, the Houston 12, and South African prisoners such as Nelson Mandela, are represented by newsletters, bulletins and news clippings. The topics series also contains news clippings, bulletins and fliers related to the Vietnam War and political unrest in countries such as Grenada, Namibia and South Africa. This series additionally incorporates materials - boycott posters, liberation pamphlets and news clippings - highlighting the struggle against Apartheid and the subsequent boycotting of the Krugerrand coins of South Africa. The archive includes a folder on the Conference in Solidarity with the Liberation Struggles of the Peoples of Southern Africa (1981-1982). Materials were donated by Mario Marcel Salas in 2003 and 2006.

Description: The collection consists of ca. 2600 videotapes and selected paper files relating to the production of the television program, South Africa Now. The collection consists of videotapes and a small number of transcripts, log books, and publicity files relating to the television program South Africa Now, produced by Globalvision from 1988 to 1991. South Africa Now was produced in cooperation with The Africa Fund, which served as fiscal sponsor and provided guidance on African political issues. The collection includes a nearly complete run of tapes of the ca. 150 newscasts produced during the three year run of the program as well as ca. 2000 tapes of interviews, short reports, documentaries, stock footage, and other footage used in the program's production. The collection includes visual documentation of the final years of apartheid in South Africa and includes interviews with and other significant footage of anti-apartheid leaders, including Nelson Mandela, Winnie Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Walter Sisulu, Albertina Sisulu, Albie Sachs, Joe Slovo, Thabo Mbeki, Allan Boesak, Oliver Tambo, Beyers Naude, and many others. It also documents the activities of the South African government and its leaders, particularly P.W. Botha and F. W. DeKlerk. Many organizations also receive extensive coverage, such as the African National Congress (ANC), the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), and the South-West African Peoples Organization (SWAPO). Many editions of the program included the segment "Frontline Focus," which reported the news in the southern African states of Angola, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. South Africa Now produced at least one cultural segment per show. The collection, therefore, contains footage of South African artists, playwrights, musicians, authors, and filmmakers, including Athol Fugard, Hugh Masakela, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Mzwakhe Mbuli, Johnny Klegg, Gcina Mhlopher, Peter Magubane, and Nadine Gordimer. Finally, the collection documents the activities of the international anti-apartheid movement that put political and economic pressure on South Africa to end the system of apartheid. Globalvision was co-founded by award-winning journalists Rory O'Connor and Danny Schechter.

Description: Most records are from 1985-1988. Includes information on South African non-Parliamentary opposition groups and U.S. and other anti-apartheid organizations. The collection documents the apartheid system in South Africa and the different stages of the liberation struggle which was instrumental in bringing about the decline of the system. The collection consists of printed materials such as newsclippings, publications, reports, press releases, newsletters, pamphlets and newspapers of the South African government, parliamentary parties, non-parliamentary groups such as the African National Congress, and American and other foreign groups. Arranged in nine series and additions: I. South African Government, 1961-1991. II. South African Parliamentary Parties, 1961-1991. III. Non-Parliamentary/Opposition/ Resistance Groups, 1961-1991. IV. South African Institutes and Foundations, 1966-1991. V American Government Policy Towards South Africa, 1974-1988. VI. Disinvestment/ Divestment, 1978-1987. VII. American Anti-Apartheid Pressure Groups, 1972-1991. VIII. International Pressure Groups, 1963-1991. IX. Posters and Printed Materials, 1970-1990. Series VI, DISINVESTMENT/DIVESTMENT, includes newsletters and reports of American organizations and institutions which have not only publicly opposed apartheid, but have also developed schemes to improve the welfare of black South Africans. One of the most effective strategies was to withdraw investments from South Africa. Hence, this series is a source for the divestment/disinvestment issue and its effectiveness as a strategy for change in the country. Many universities, especially Yale and Stanford, were at the forefront of this campaign. Additional material on this strategy can be found in Series IX. Series VII, AMERICAN ANTI-APARTHEID ORGANIZATIONS, is a fairly large series which focuses on the role of numerous American groups in removing racial oppression in South Africa. Through their newsletters, publications and campaigns, these organizations aimed not only to bring to the attention of the American people the plight of the oppressed, but also to design strategies to build the momentum for legislative action against South Africa. Of particular importance are the files of The Africa Fund, American Committee on Africa, Episcopal Church People for a Free Southern Africa, and the Washington Office on Africa. Through their work these groups were successful in providing medical, financial, and moral assistance to black South Africans and in ultimately influencing American corporate and government policy towards South Africa. Their publications, reports, and newsletters are a good source for information on the violence that was perpetrated in South Africa, especially in Natal. Series VIII, INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE GROUPS, contains material which focuses on the pressure exerted by non-American groups and their respective government on South Africa to bring an end to apartheid. Although most of these groups are based in Europe, the work of the British anti-apartheid organizations dominates these series.
