Mailing inviting people to an evening of poetry and music on October 31 at the home of Marguerite and Leonard C.

The letter says a daily vigil will be held outside the South African Consulate to protest the arrest and detention of John Kani and Winston Ntshona. Kani and Ntshoma are black South Africans who received a Tony award for their performances in the anti-apartheid play, Sizwe Banzi Is Dead. They recently stated publicly from the stage that "national independence" for the Transkei tribal "homeland" is a fraud and will lead only to more bloodshed. At the October 31 event, several South African poets-in-exile will join several American poets to read their poems and express solidarity with the people of South Africa. The poets named on the leaflet include: Wally Mongane Serote, Ezekiel Mphahlele, Dennis Brutus, Denise Levertov, Etheridge Knight, Nikki Giovanni, Alice Walker, Audrey Lorde, Galway Kinnell, and Mary McAnally.
