This document is apparently a press release. The document says entertainer Ray Charles will be the target of protest Sunday, July 3 at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Charles is slated to perform at the Kool Jazz Festival. The Capital District Coalition Against Apartheid and Racism is protesting Charles's appearance because of his violation of the United Nations Resolutions call for "all states and organizations to suspend cultural, educational, sporting and other exchanges with the racist regime in South Africa which perpetuates apartheid." Ray Charles arrogantly ignored pleas of South African liberation groups not to support the racist regime by performing in South Africa.
