Description

Demonstration by students at the Oberlin College Administration building demanding that Oberlin College divest from companies doing business in South Africa. The march around the Administration building followed a forum. The sign for "AMNESTY" refers to students who were going in front of a disciplinary board for disrupting the Board of Trustees meeting. The activities were part of a general campus strike called for by the Oberlin Coalition for the Liberation of Southern Africa.
