Leaflet advertising the 1986 NATIONAL WEEKS OF ANTI-APARTHEID ACTION from Friday March 21 Anniversary of the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre to Sunday April 6 Anniversary of Execution of Solomon Mahlangu, African National Congress Freedom Fighter and including Friday April 4 National Divestment Protest Day in Commemoration of Martin Luther King. The leaflet says in the face of the escalating struggle in South Africa and Namibia, the apartheid regime has killed over 1000 protesters during the last year and arrested 15,000; despite the upsurge of protest in this country, the Reagan Administration remains firmly wedded to its policy of constructive engagement with South Africa, and is pushing for direct CIA ties to UNITA, South Africa's surrogates in Angola. The leaflet includes a newspaper article "Covert Aid For Angola Is Pushed" by David B. Ottaway. The leaflet discusses Central American solidarity groups, Archbishop Romero, pass laws, divestment, Spring Weeks of Action, Claude Pepper, William J. Casey, Secretary of State George P. Shultz, Mark D. Siljander, Howard E. Wolpe, and the Central Intelligence Agency.
