Contents: SOUTHERN AFRICA: AFSC DIVESTS $1.3 MILLION • THE SUMMER PROJECT • RESOURCES • Articles from an incomplete issue of a newsletter apparently titled Peace Action. The newsletter reports the American Friends Service Committee sold over 45,000 shares of stock worth $1.3 million in U.S. firms operating in South Africa because the companies continue to do business in that country where white race supremacy is the law of the land. The newsletter includes an article by Sally Wallace, a Kalamazoo Southern Africa Summer volunteer. The newsletter says the Southern Africa refugee problem is one of the most serious ramifications of the apartheid system as hundreds of thousands of refugees have flooded into Botswana, Mozambique, and Tanzania; as an aid to these people (mostly men and boys), the Southern Africa program will continue with a refugee clothing drive in the Fall and Winter. The newsletter discusses Peter H. 'Molotsi, Jennifer Davis, the American Committee on Africa (ACOA), Michael Simmons, AFSC's Southern Africa Peace Education Program, Susan Mason, John Young, Upjohn Co., Timothy Smith, the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, Steven Biko, Donald Woods, "Last Grave at Dimbaza", Miami University, Wright State University, and corporations with subsidiaries or affiliates in South Africa.
