Ambassador- Williams
I said that at ; their, semi
1 annual meeting in
November, the trustees
of the Fund had
unanimously approved
the concept of such a
program. He stated that i
the Fund was founded in
1911 with a charter com
mitment to provide
educational . oppor
tunities for black
Africans and that "until
apartheid is dead, we will
never be able to fullv.
realize , thar
commitment." It is
hoped that once the
American people unders
tand exactly what apar
theid is . and are
knowledgeable about the
liberation struggles on
the part of black people
in southern Africa, they
will be better able to ex- -press
themselves' about
U.S. policy in Africa and
about legitimate black
aspirations there. "Our
entire history as a people
who believe in freedom
and equality for all dic
tates that we at least lend
moral support to these
struggles," continued
Williams. "The current
administration doesn't
seem to see if that way,
but I am confident that
once the American peo
ple know the facts,
they'll be sure we move
in the right direction.'' .
Dr. Lapchick, who
received his B.A. from
St. John's University
and his M.A. and Ph.D.
from the University of
jorea in Airican studies 1
and International Race
Relations met with the
Trustees . and Am
bassador WHliams last
week to discuss the scope
of the program. Since
the bulk of the public's
information about
Africa comes from
newspapers and televi
sion, a media program is
planned. In addition to
writing articles for
distribution to
newspapers, art attempt
will be made to provide
reporters in all media
with unbiased, up-to-date
information and
analyses about events in
southern Africa.
Through its links with
developing colleges,
which were forged dur
ing nearly 75 years ()f ad
' ministering programs for
their benefit, the same
information will be
disseminated to students
"and the local com
niunities. The Program will also
mount a campaign to
convince all American
athletes and. entertainers
to observe the
unanimously approved
United Nations boycott
of South Africa. D.
Lapchick said they have
to be made to unders
tand that participation in
events sponsored, by or
. held in South Atnca
legitimate the apartheid
regime. In a similar way,-
. American sports groups
will be provided infor
mation about apartheid
and the sports boycott in
- an attempt to prevent
South African teams and
athletes' from being in
vited. to compete in the
United States, j ,
Ambassador Williams-
stressed that the program
is just getting off the
ground and that other
facets would be added to
it as time and events dic
tate. As--Dr.
Lapchick v' has
received a numbed of
awards, including the
Kenneth-Kaunda Award
for Humanism, and is
the author of several
- books and numerous ar
