Leaflet advertising a showing of "NOSSA TERA" ("Our Land"), a 45-minute color documentary of the liberation struggle in Guinea-Bissau, in HUB Auditorium, presumably on the University of Washington campus. The leaflet quotes from Amilcar Cabral, Secretary-General of the African Independence Party of Guinea and the Cape Verde Islands (PAIGC), and from "The Liberation of Guiné," by Basil Davidson. The leaflet says napalm has been used by Portugal in Africa since the Angolan revolt in 1961. Portugal does not make napalm - or bombers, helicopters, or munitions (bought from South Africa). The U.S., through NATO, supplies Portugal with napalm and the aircraft from which to drop it. The U.S. does not have significant investments in Guiné-Bissau, but it gives blanket support for the Portuguese to maintain its other colonies (Angola and Mozambique), where U.S. investments are great. The leaflet says the U.S. and Portugal must defend their imperialist aims in Africa and cannot afford to be defeated by anti-imperialists. Slogan on the leaflet: SUPPORT THE PEOPLES STRUGGLING AGAINST PORTUGUESE COLONIALISM AND U.S. IMPERIALISM!
