Contents: PRINCIPLES OF UNITY • THE ANTI-APARTHEID SHANTIES • THE SOLOMON MAHLANGU FREEDOM COLLEGE (A.N.C.) • The brochure says the Free South Africa Coordinating Committee (FSACC), formed in the spring of 1985, is a multi-racial/ethnic, campus-based group that opposes Apartheid in South Africa and racism in the United State. It was formed in part in response to the escalation of the struggle for freedom in South Africa and increased repression by the Apartheid regime, and also the upsurge in Anti-Apartheid activities on U.S. campuses. The group supports full divestment and sees no moral justification for the University of Michigan to lend support and credibility to the Apartheid system by investing in companies doing business in South Africa. On March 19, 1987, the United Coalition Against Racism (UCAR) occupied the administration building, and the Regents of the University agreed to award an honorary degree to Nelson Mandela. However, the University still has not divested the remaining $500,000 in companies supporting the white South African regime; also it is currently fighting a state law that demands divestiture by all public higher education institutions. The FSACC is collecting money to send to SOMAFCO, a school created in Mazimbu, Tanzania by the African National Congress (ANC) in 1979. The brochure discusses the struggle for liberation and self-determination in South Africa, Bantu education, and the Two Weeks of Action.
