Apartheid Divestment Protest

Thu., Oct. 23, 1986

A rally, sponsored by the Coalition Against Apartheid, attracted a crowd between 100 and 200 people during the two hour anti-apartheid sing-out and rally. The crowd was a mixture of faculty, students, observers, active participants, people wearing black armbands in protest of apartheid, and cameras and reporters from publications and television stations throughout the area. The main goal of the group was to get the trustees to vote for total divestment of all the College's holding in South Africa.
