This paper, which grows out of the Southern Africa Study Seminar sponsored by the National Student Christian Federation during the summer, 1966, has four purposes: 1) to show the need for counter-violence to bring about effective social change in the apartheid system and why non-violence methods, including economic sanctions, have failed to bring this change; 2) to show why the South African situation is a threat to world peace; 3) to explore an alternative course for the United States; and 4) to reflect on a Christian attitude toward violent social change in the context of South Africa.
