Round button with white text on a black background in an outer ring. In the center is a map of Africa; independent Africa is in bright yellow and minority-ruled southern Africa is in white. Separating these two parts of the continent are two curved black forearms, each with clenched fists. Through the white subcontinent are two rings of a chain. Outside the map, which is surrounded in green, are five broken pieces of the silver chain. The word "APARTHEID" appears below the African continent, in red, giving the impression of blood poured over the letters. The conference for which the button was created was sponsored by the Howard University Student Association and the Pan African Revolutionary Socialist Party. A rally and candlelight vigil against apartheid was held on the first day of the event. (Source: "Forum focuses on South Africa" by Kuae Noel Kelsch, The Hilltop, April 5, 1985)
