  • The City of Newark
    TO ALL President’s Message Inductees, Scholarship Recipients, Family and Friends, It is with great honor that I welcome you tonight, to our 30nd Annual Newark Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Dinner. Since 1988, we have been honoring athletes from public and private schools in and around the City of Newark. Our initial purpose was to focus attention on Newark’s glorious past and its bright future by creating a positive environment where friendships, camaraderie and memories can be renewed. Tonight we continue that tradition with eighteen new Inductees and four Scholarship Awardees. The Honorees have proven, as in the past, that they are to be recognized as true role models, a characteristic very much in need these days, whether in a large city or a small town. You can turn to a bio page in this or any one of the previous twenty-nine books of inductees and find a role model you can be proud to emulate. The hallmarks of a good athlete are dedication, desire, teamwork, hard work, time management and good sportsmanship. These are the same qualities necessary to succeed in the classroom and the workplace. That’s why our Hall of Fame Family of Inductees are to be viewed as success stories, on and off the field. To our Scholarship Award Winners, you have been recognized to possess the characteristics outlined above; therefore, we wish you good fortune in college and hope to see you back here one evening on the dais, as a future Inductee into the Hall of Fame. Finally, as Newark has become a hotbed for professional and college sports alike, we must not forget the high school and recreation level athletes and support their efforts.

  • Divesting from Apartheid: a Summary of State and Municipal Legislative Action on South Africa by Sandy Boyer
    ACOA. American Committee on Africa Divesting from Apartheid: A Summary of State and Municipal Legislative Action on South Africa by Sandy Boyer 1982 was a year of major victories for the movement to withdraw public funds from companies whose investment in South Africa subsidizes the apartheid system. Massachusetts, Michigan, Connecticut and the cities of Philadelphia, Wilmington and Grand Rapids all enacted legislation that will force the divestment of up to $300 million. The Massachusetts bill, which requires state pension funds to sell all stocks and bonds in companies doing business in South Africa, is the most comprehensive divestment legislation yet passed by any state. Philadelphia is the first major American city to pass a divestment ordinance. Both the Massachusetts and the Philadelphia bills call for full divestment of pension funds, and both are being used as model legislation in campaigns around the country. Already in 1983, legislative action against apartheid is being worked on in 21 states and 8 cities and counties. The following summary provides detailed information on this legislation. We hope it will be useful not only to legislators, but to many concerned people from the churches, the unions, and civil rights, community and campus organizations who have been working to end public investment in South African racism. We hope this summary will help you in your efforts to win many more victories in 1983. On May 1, 1980, the Citizens Committee on Responsible ALABAMA Investment which had been created to carry out the refer STATE ACTION: State Representative James Buskey will endum mandate, submitted its 45 page report.
