Americans involved in the civil
rights struggle of the 1960s cannot
be compared with black South
Africans protesting apartheid today,
a former black studies professor told
a group of students gathered to
celebrate Martin Luther King Jrs
birthday.
The two movements although
they both work toward greater
freedom for blacks are incompar
able because South Africa's fight
against segregation is much larger
than America's civil rights move
ments, said Czerni Braswell, who is
also director of the Durham YWCA.
Braswell recently tried to visit
South Africa when she, along with
18 other women in the YWCA, were
invited by a South African YWCA
to take an educational tour. But 48
hours before departure, their visas
had not been approved. Their visas
were denied the day before they
should have left.
The women were chosen through
an application process, Braswell told
the racially-mixed crowd. In order
to be chosen for the program,
Braswell said that the applicants had
to be familiar with at least one of
the following areas: housing,
employment, economics and health
care.
Braswell suggested the massive
resettlements of the blacks in South
Africa and the U.S. government's

it out entirely.
And neither can Odum Village
residents, so they're trying to do
something about it.
Lydia Lewis, the village's man
ager, said because a lot of people
in the University community don't
know about Odum Village and its
history, they may not be concerned.
"We'd be easily smashed out," she
said.
Resident's will have a meeting next .
week to discuss the situation, Cruz
said. In addition, Odum's aldermen
are circulating a petition among the
residents, and they're talking to
graduate departments, many of
which mention married student
housing when recruiting students, he
said.
A series of recent events, including
the walkway proposal and the
proposed South Campus parking
deck, have made Lewis wary.
Mlt all seems to be coming together
real well. It made me see tombstones
for us," she said, mentioning a
possible relocation of married stu
dent housing to the site of the
University's Horace B. Williams
airport.
However, Swecker said that no

Because Memories Fade
speaker contrasts U.S,9 S. Africa protests
censorship contributed to the
denials.
Entire villages in South Africa are
being arrested by that country's
government, she said, and the
American public doesnt know about
it. The American public also is quick
to make assumptions, viewing the
South African struggle as similar to
civil rights problems in America.
The South African YWCA had
invited the U.S. YWCA women
because they couldn't fund South
African ambassadors' visits to the
U.S. They presented a challenge to
the YWCAs in America, saying if
Americans were truly concerned,
they would make the effort to come
to South Africa.
South African women also want
to provide the tour with hopes of
changing America's foreign policy
which she said neither supports nor
prohibits apartheid.
Braswell stressed the word "risk,"
saying that just as people in America
took risks in order to prevent
segregation, South Africans must
take risks so that they can be free.
Their oppression can be seen in the
government's rules against blacks
publicly dining with whites, Braswell
said.
Although Braswell encourages
money being sent to South Africans,
such as Bishop Tutu's scholarship
fund, blacks are being denied rights
such as a beneficial education. She
said she was concerned that when
plans could be finalized before

Efforts to reach -Mauer, who
brought the charges in Thursday's
trial, were unsuccessful.
Speaking of the acquittal, Cris
Jackson said she was glad because
the court upheld their right to
express themselves, and that right
was maintained even though some
people in the administration
disagreed.
Keith Griffler, one of the group
who chained themselves inside South
Building, said he was surprised the
administration brought charges. "It
seems to be some sort of revenge on
students for protesting," the sopho
more said.
Group members were not protest
ing the administration, Griffler said.
"We were protesting the Endowment
Board, who we thought were drag
ging down the reputation of the
University."
Junior Jennifer Amy Thompson,
who was acquitted, said the the trial's
result upheld basic students rights.
"Protesting is a right of students,"
she said. "What college is about is
people going out and expressing
their opinions. Until the University
totally divests, we will protest.
"It is ironic that we were tried for
civil disobedience on the birthday of

Described by Bergman as a "ripple
effect," once the initial move is made
and jobs are lost, there will be an
overall loss of above average income.
There may also be a softening in the
higher-priced housing market, due to
houses sold by the departing top
level executives.
A change may also be noticed in
the area of community leadership
and volunteer-oriented city services
with the loss of many high-salary
workers, Bergman said.
"Anytime you lose these key
people you will lose out in the
community institutions," he said.

Martin Luther King, who strongly
advocated peaceful protests,"
Thompson said.
University officials expressed
approval of the acquittal, but they
said they were uncertain as to what
the case will mean for future
demonstrations.
"My own feeling is that all of us
are here for the stated purpose of
an education," said Donald Boulton,
vice chancellor of student affairs.
"The right to peaceful protest has
always been observed, but the
normal work of the University must
also be observed."
Boulton added he did not feel that
erecting the protest shanties had
disrupted the "normal work" of the
University, although the Pit could
have been used instead.
Although the trials of both groups
of protesters were separate incidents,
"the treatment for all should be the
same," because of the common issue
involved, Boulton said.
University police Sgt. Ned Comar
also said the Pit would have been
a more suitable place for demon
strating. "The biggest problem that
police have figuring out is why
people don't use the Pit," he said.
"It was created to be a forum where
people can get their opinions out."
