African Activist Archive

The mailing provides a variety of resources and urges politically-engaged university studies to become aware of the oppression in Southern Africa. Americans need to address U.S. policy toward this region; we cannot allow policies of our government to be determined by the interests of private investment and the policies of the Cold War, and only protest afterwards. Most material in this packet concerns South Africa; materials about the rest of Southern Africa will be coming. Guerilla warfare is going on in Angola and Mozambique, the white minority in Rhodesia threatens to declare "unilateral independence" (which means the freedom to continue white domination), and the World Court has before it the case of Southwest Africa. The United States National Student Association may publish a newsletter soon on student action against apartheid "and its relatives." The mailing includes "BUT WHAT CAN WE DO? - Some questions to ask and find out" and "A SUPPLEMENT TO THE RESOURCE LIST ON SOUTH AFRICA," by Dave Robinson. The mailing mentions the American Committee on Africa (ACOA), United States Youth Council, Crossroads Africa, the Peace Corps, the Experiment In international Living, Junior Year Abroad, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, National Educational Television, Defense and Aid, NSA, companies investing in South Africa, members of Congress, student governments, and African Studies programs.
