Brochure on a U.S. speaking tour by Bill Sutherland, the Southern Africa Representative of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). The brochure quotes President Julius Nyerere, President Kenneth Kaunda, and Bishop Desmond Tutu, President, South Africa Council of Churches. The brutality and injustice of apartheid and the denial of democratic rights to the overwhelming majority of people in South Africa and Namibia threaten a nonviolent solution in southern Africa. The brochure discusses the role Sutherland played in 1951 when he learned of plans for the Defiance Against Unjust Laws Campaign in South Africa and shared this information in the U.S.; out of this grew Americans for South African Resistance, which was started by the Fellowship of Reconciliation. The brochure discusses the liberation movements throughout Africa and Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe of the Patriotic Front of Zimbabwe. Since joining the staff of AFSC, Sutherland has traveled regularly to the Frontline States of Southern Africa (Botswana, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia). To arrange for Bill Sutherland to speak, contact Ginny Hill at AFSC in Philadelphia or an AFSC regional/area office.
