Leaflet used at a protest organized by the labor committee of the Bay Area Free South Africa Movement (BAFSM) that organized picket line in ports up and down the Pacific Coast to meet Nedlloyd ships. The leaflet reprints an article in California AFL-CIO News. The article says trade unionists were prominent among the more than 200 people on the San Francisco waterfront last Sunday to protest apartheid by picketing a ship laden with goods from South Africa. The article includes a photograph of a protest in Pier 80 with a person holding a sign LETTER CARRIERS AGAINST APARTHEID. A second article reports "SCLC Boycott Cuts Off Sales," saying the Southern Christian Leadership Conference boycott of Winn-Dixie supermarkets in the south reportedly led the company to stop carrying South African canned fruit. The leaflet discusses Alameda County Supervisor John George, the boycott of Shell Oil products, the South African National Union of Mineworkers, Royal Dutch Shell, black coal miners, Oakland teachers, Nedlloyd, Del Monte, the Coors boycott, the Alameda County Central Labor Council, Fred Taylor, a niece and nephew of Martin Luther King, Jr., Julian Bond, Arthur Langford, and David Scott.
