Anti-Apartheid NITED STAT S NTI APARTH 10 N E w s L E T T E R ISSN 1054-3487 Vol 4, No. 1. Winter 1991 Chicago Passes Anti­ Apartheid Ordinance On July 12,1990, Chicago City Coun­ cil passed an anti- apartheid ordinance which includes strong banking and selec­ tive purchasing features. The law, which went into effect on October 31, pro­ hibits the depositing of any city funds in financial institutions with outstanding loans to the South African government or South African businesses. This in­ cludes banks maintaining correspondent banking relationships. The selective pur­ chasing restrictions forbidding city con­ tracts with companies doing business with or in South Africa are also strong. The restricted list contains not only companies with subsidiaries in South Africa but also those with non-equity ties, such as licensing and franchising agreements. Helen Shiller, an alderman instrumental in the law's passage, is now committed to its enforcement by mak­ ing sure that the city's purchasing agent assembles a complete list of South African tainted businesses.

  • Trekking Outward
    TREKKING OUTWARD A CHRONOLOGY OF MEETINGS BETWEEN SOUTH AFRICANS AND THE ANC IN EXILE 1983–2000 Michael Savage University of Cape Town May 2014 PREFACE In the decade preceding the dramatic February 1990 unbanning of South Africa’s black liberatory movements, many hundreds of concerned South Africans undertook to make contact with exile leaders of these organisations, travelling long distances to hold meetings in Europe or in independent African countries. Some of these “treks”, as they came to be called, were secret while others were highly publicised. The great majority of treks brought together South Africans from within South Africa and exile leaders of the African National Congress, and its close ally the South African Communist Party. Other treks involved meetings with the Pan Africanist Congress, the black consciousness movement, and the remnants of the Non-European Unity Movement in exile. This account focuses solely on the meetings involving the ANC alliance, which after February 1990 played a central role in negotiating with the white government of F.W. de Klerk and his National Party regime to bring about a new democratic order. Without the foundation of understanding established by the treks and thousands of hours of discussion and debate that they entailed, it seems unlikely that South Africa’s transition to democracy could have been as successfully negotiated as it was between 1990 and the first democratic election of April 1994. The following chronology focuses only on the meetings of internally based South Africans with the African National Congress (ANC) when in exile over the period 1983–1990. Well over 1 200 diverse South Africans drawn from a wide range of different groups in the non- governmental sector and cross-cutting political parties, language, educational, religious and community groups went on an outward mission to enter dialogue with the ANC in exile in a search to overcome the escalating conflict inside South Africa.

A proud veteran, former law enforcement official and dedicated public servant, Larry faithfully served the needs and concerns of fellow citizens throughout his life. As the City liaison to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered communities, he played an invaluable role in fostering cooperation, tolerance and understanding. As a pioneering State Representative, Larry was a strong and effective voice for his constituents and inspired us all with his selfless dedication to helping those in need. I send my condolences to the family and friends of Larry and hope you find comfort in his memory and the love he shared with you. His enthusiastic leadership and vision will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on in the communities and causes to which he dedicated himself so faithfully. Sincerely, Richard M. Daley Mayor General Assembly State of Illinois To the Family and Friends of Larry McKeon, As the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, I was honored to have served with State Representative Larry McKeon and to call him my friend. While it is true that Larry will be recorded in the annals of Illinois history as the first openly gay, HIV-positive lawmaker to serve in the General Assembly—a remarkable and important distinction, and the fact that may be most remembered—we should take care to never forget that he was also an exemplary human being and public servant.

  • Tribute to Nelson Mandela Parashat Vayiggash Rabbi Carl M
    A Tribute to Nelson Mandela Parashat Vayiggash Rabbi Carl M. Perkins Temple Aliyah December 6, 2013 This morning we read yet another episode in the liFe of a Fascinating figure in our history: Joseph. On the one hand, Joseph experienced one frightening and humiliating degradation after another: he was thrown into a pit by his brothers and left for dead; he was sold into slavery; he was falsely accused and thrown into prison. On the other hand, seemingly miraculously and swiFtly, Joseph rose in power and was appointed viceroy, second only to Pharaoh, and received the adulation of all of Egypt, with Egyptians shouting his special title, “Avrech,” as he was driven through the streets. Who could ever have imagined it? Certainly not Joseph’s family: they were convinced he was either dead or subjugated. And certainly not the Egyptians, who had contempt For Canaanites like him. IF anyone had ever suggested that he would one day make that transition from degradation and impotence to influence and power, he would have been thought mad. There really was only one person in the world, perhaps, who was conFident that Joseph would ultimately triumph, and that was Joseph himself. For, after all, since his youth Joseph had known that he was destined for greatness. Others may have dismissed his grandiose dreams, but Joseph remained confident that they would one day come true—as indeed they did. The story of Joseph reminds us that even extraordinary, unthinkable degradation and suffering shouldn’t stop one from reaching for greatness. We were reminded of that lesson on Thursday when we learned of the death of the great Nelson Mandela.

  • Annual Report 2005
    ANNUAL REPORT 2005 CROSSROADS F U N D change, not charity Four decades later I am still uncomfortable with the credit given to me for starting the bus “ boycott. I would like [people] to know I was not the only person involved. I was just one of many who fought for freedom… As I look back on those days, it’s just like a dream. The only thing that bothered me was that we waited so long to make this protest “ and to let it be known wherever we go that all of us should be free and equal and have all opportunities that others should have. Rosa Parks WE DEDICATE THIS ANNUAL REPORT TO ROSA PARKS. In school we learned Rosa Parks was too tired to give up her seat to a white rider, that her long day working as a seamstress left her too exhausted to move, that weariness is what motivated her defiance of the law in segregated Montgomery, Alabama, 1955. Our schoolbooks obscured the real story, the real Rosa Parks. Ms. Parks was an evolving community activist. She served as Secretary of the Montgomery NAACP from 1943 to 1957 and attended the Highlander Folk School, an education center for workers’ rights and racial equality in Tennessee only six months before she sat on that particular bus. She was not the first black bus rider to have been arrested in Montgomery for refusing to move. Rather, she became central to a campaign organized by black activists, including herself, to create fundamental change on the local level, change that would have a catalytic effect on the civil rights movement in our country.
