  • An Organization in Transition
    An organization in transition: The Capital District Coalition Against Apartheid and Racism CD-CAAR becomes CD-CSAAR The Capital District Coalition for Southern Africa and Against Racism Box 3002 Pine Hills Station Albany, New York 12203 A project of the Social Justice Center March, 1995 A Message from Vera Michelson. .. Remembering CD-CHAR As we mark the one year anniversary of the April, 1994 elections in South Africa and the transition of the country from a racist apartheid regime to a non-racial democracy under the leadership of Nelson Mandela, the Capital District Coalition Against Apartheid and Racism (CD-CAAR) is undergoing a reorganization. The following CD-CAAR steering committe members - Vera Michelson, Mark Mishler, Mabel Leon, Debbie Maxwell, Eileen Kawola and Roli Varma - will be leaving. The new effort will be named the Capital District Coalition for Southern Africa and Against Racism (CD-CSAAR pronounced CD- CZAR). Members of the new steering committee are Josephine Burke Baptiste, Gail Byrnes, Tauheedah Madyun, Merton Simpson (Chairperson), Oswald Sykes, and James Wright. But before we end this chapter of CD-CAAR, I felt it important that we pay tribute to the many people who played significant roles in the life of the organization and the anti-apartheid struggle . Some of these people are remembered for their continuous work in the organization and some are remembered for their collaboration on special projects . Of course, this chronology only touches on the highlights of the past 14 years . This is not an attempt to capture it all . I know that we are compiling this list at great risk as it is guaranteed that we will omit people and organizations in this impossible task.
