African Activist Archive

The mailing publicizes a November 2 March and Rally for Peace, Jobs and Justice in downtown Seattle, which is part of a nationwide mobilization occurring in 14 cities (most of them on Oct. 25) organized by a broad range of peace, anti-racist and progressive groups. There will be a contingent of anti-apartheid activists in the march. The evening before the march, a program featuring Solle Simelane of the African National Congress (ANC) observer mission to the United Nations will be held at CAMP, 722 18th Ave., Seattle. Mr. Simelane, the main speaker at the rally, will share the latest information about the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa, the impact of the recently passed sanctions legislation, and the real story about the Coca-Cola, IBM, and General Motors "pullouts." The mailing says January 8, 1987 will mark the 75th anniversary of the African National Congress, the leading national liberation organization in South Africa. We plan to hold a series of events in late January to celebrate this important date and seek your input and participation in the planning.
